Ice Stress [Richter-Menge J., B. Elder, K. Claffey]

Project:

Summary

A governing factor in the exchange of energy between the atmosphere, sea ice cover, and ocean is the thickness distribution of the ice cover. A complex series of dynamic and thermodynamic processes defines the thickness distribution. Key to the dynamic processes is the mechanical behavior of the ice cover, which described the relationship between stress and deformation.
