Storm-induced sea ice breakup and the implications for ice extent Alison Kohout, Mike Williams, Sam Dean (NIWA) Mike Meylan, University of Newcastle, Australia

Motivation Assumed the amplitude of all waves decay exponentially in sea ice – Based on single site observations of small waves in the Arctic in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s – Didn’t fit opportunistic observations Desire to understand sea ice changes in both polar regions Increased desire to forecast sea ice

The Experiment Deploy wave buoys at multiple sites Measure vertical acceleration integrate to get wave height Return FFT of 34 min of measurements every 3 hours Buoys last up to 6 weeks Analysis focuses on significant wave height (H S )

Photo: Rob Johnson Photo: Graham Oakley The deployment All ice was first year ice (mean thickness: 0.75 m) All deployed on similar sized ice floes Floe size in the Marginal Ice Zone increased with distance from the ice edge

Variance Solid line Dashed line

Types of decay Calm PeriodLarge wave event

Box Plot

Large wave events Calm periods Indications of non-linear wave-wave interactions Possible explanation why linear theory fails

Ice breaking by waves

Relevance Looked for a relationship in the Arctic, but had insufficient data to test Note: axis is reversed

Future wave climate Climate Models predict that wave heights should increase everywhere at the sea ice edge This will be a negative feedback on extent Historical period ( ) RCP RCP 4.5 Increases are over 1850 to 1870

Summary New waves-in-ice data capturing both calm and storm events Storm waves decay differently to small waves, can no longer assume all waves decay exponentially Predicts energy from waves propagates further Storm generated waves play a larger role in the breakup of sea ice than previously thought Significant wave height increases predicted in both Antarctic and Arctic, this may enhance sea ice retreat
