The model is coded in FORTRAN90 for use as a module in a standalone version of the CICEv4.1 sea ice model (http://oceans11.lanl.gov/trac/CICE). It requires incident wave forcing to be specified at some constant latitude outside the ice cover, which can be user chosen or imported from data files (e.g. data given by Wavewatch III hindcasts, see http://doi.org/10.4225/08/523168703DCC5). Modifications to the existing CICE routines are given to allow integration of the broken floe sizes into its lateral melting scheme, and for incorporation of a floe bonding scheme. Bennetts, O'Farrell and Uotila (submitted) use the model to study the impact of wave-induced ice breakup on model predictions of the concentration and volume of Antarctic sea ice. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-180.0, -75.0], [180.0, -75.0], [180.0, -60.0], [-180.0, -60.0], [-180.0, -75.0]]]} -180.0 180.0 -75.0 -60.0 AMD AMD/AU CEOS EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SEA ICE EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SEA ICE > SEA ICE CONCENTRATION EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SEA ICE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SEA ICE > SEA ICE CONCENTRATION GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR MODELS WAVE ENERGY GET DATA documentDigital Download the data HTML PROJECT HOME PAGE documentDigital Public information for AAS project AAS_4123 HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset.
