Wind-driven collisions between floes explain the observed dispersion of Arctic sea ice

Bryan Shaddy, P. Alex Greaney, Bhargav Rallabandi

The transport of sea ice over the polar oceans plays an important role in climate. This transport is driven predominantly by turbulent winds, leading to stochastic motion of ice fl…
