Sentences with phrase «ice deformation»
Ice deformation refers to the way ice changes its shape and structure when exposed to pressure or stress. It occurs when ice moves, melts, or cracks due to external forces, such as temperature changes or pressure from its surroundings. Ice can bend, twist, or break depending on the amount of pressure applied. Full definition
The neXtSIM model is currently being developed at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, and is unique among sea ice models owing to its rheological framework that is based on solid mechanics and allowing to reproduce the multifractal scaling invariance of sea ice deformation with an unprecedented realism.
