Disseration Enhancement: Wind and Wave Effects on Sea Ice

该奖项支持克拉克森大学的Hayley Shen博士获得国家科学基金会论文强化奖。沈博士的博士生Gregory Leonard先生将在日本北海道大学环境地球科学研究生院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。拟议的研究将比较从鄂霍次克海获得的遥感和实地数据与模型研究，以确定风和波对研究区域海冰运动和生长/衰减的影响。该项目将提供对来自鄂霍次克海的大量日本野外数据的访问，从而促进对遥感结果的解释，并为理论模型提供输入。该项目将为我们对海冰动态的理解增添新的信息，同时鼓励美日在这一研究领域加强合作

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.***
