Project information
Project aim
In this project a sea-ice model for application in Southern Ocean climate and forecasting studies will be developed to amend identified deficiencies in numerical models (i.e. unaccounted short-term dynamics; or non-suitable ice rheology). In-situ deformation and ice-stress data will be used to derive parameterisations suitable for the Southern Ocean pack.

Sea-ice drift and deformation in the Western Weddell Sea during austra; summer of 2004 are characterised using in situ data from a meso-scale array of 24 drifting ice buoys. About 30 days of data during late November and December 2004 are available from the buoy array.

Over the past two decades drifting sea-ice buoys have been used by the Australian Government Antarctic Division [AGAD] to observe sea-ice drift and deformation. Initial deployments often used single buoys … to resolve the large-scale characteristics of Antarctic sea-ice drift.
