Record #110162:

Strain in shore fast ice due to incoming ocean waves and swell / Colin Fox, Vernon A. Squire.

Title: Strain in shore fast ice due to incoming ocean waves and swell / Colin Fox, Vernon A. Squire.
Author(s): Fox, Colin.
Squire, Vernon A.
Date: 1991.
In: Journal of Geophysical Research. (1991.), Vol. 96(C3) (1991)
Abstract: Develops authors' (1990) theoretical model: normalized absolute strain (relative to 1-m incident wave) is found as function of distance from ice edge for various wave periods, ice thicknesses, and water depths. Squared transfer function, giving relative ability of incident waves of different periods to generate strain in ice, is calculated and consequences discussed. Ice is then forced with Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum, and consequent strain spectra are plotted as function of penetration into ice. Finally rms strain, computed as incoherent sum of strains resulting from energy in open water spectrum, is found. Results have implications for breakup of shorefast ice and hence to floe-size distribution of marginal ice zone.
