Disseration Enhancement: Wind and Wave Effects on Sea Ice

9813684 Shen该奖项支持授予克拉克森大学的Hayley Shen博士的国家科学基金会论文增强奖。 沈博士博士学生Gregory伦纳德先生将在日本北海道大学环境地球科学研究生院的Motoyoshi Ikeda教授的实验室工作三个月。 该研究项目将调查风和波浪对海冰的影响，拟议的研究将把从鄂霍次克海获得的遥感数据和实地数据与模型研究进行比较，以确定风和波浪对研究区域海冰运动和增长/衰减的影响。 该项目将提供从鄂霍次克海获得的大量日本实地数据，从而便利对遥感结果的解释，并为理论模型提供投入。 该项目将为我们对海冰动态的理解增加新的信息，同时鼓励美国加强对海冰的研究。日本在这一研究领域的合作 *

9813684ShenThis award supports a National Science Foundation Dissertation Enhancement award to Dr. Hayley Shen of Clarkson University. Dr. Shen's Ph.D. student, Mr. Gregory Leonard, will work for three months in the laboratory of Professor Motoyoshi Ikeda of the Graduate School of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University, Japan. The research project will investigate wind and wave effects on sea ice.The proposed research will compare remotely sensed and field data obtained from the Okhotsk Sea to model studies in order to determine the effects of wind and waves on the motion and growth/decay of sea ice in the study region. This project will provide access to the considerable Japanese field data from the Okhotsk Sea, thus facilitating interpretation of remote sensing results and providing input to the theoretical models. The project will add new information to our understanding of sea ice dynamics and, at the same time, encourage stronger U.S.-Japan collaboration in this area of research.***
