Comparison of laboratory data with a viscous two‐layer model of wave propagation in grease ice

K Newyear, S Martin - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
We compare laboratory measurements of wave propagation and attenuation in grease ice
with two viscous fluid models. The first is the classic infinite depth, constant viscosity one …

Structure of under‐ice melt ponds in the central Arctic and their effect on, the sea‐ice cover

H Eicken - Limnology and Oceanography, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
Freezing of mneltwater ponds below Arctic sea ice contributes significantly to summer ice
growth. An under‐ice pond, located below a surface melt puddle on a multiyear floe, was …
