Abstract

A model of the extent of wave driven overwash into fields of sea ice floes is proposed. The extent model builds on previous work modelling wave overwash of a single floe by regular waves by including irregular incoming waves and random floe fields. The model is validated against a laboratory experiment. It is then used to study the extent of wave overwash into marginal ice zones consisting of pancake and fragmented floe fields. The effects of wave conditions and floe geometry on predicted extents are investigated. Finally, the model is used to predict the wave overwash extent for the conditions observed during a winter (July) 2017 Antarctic voyage in which the sea surface was monitored by a stereo-camera system.
