A thermally stratified Sea-Ice-Wave Interaction Facility

热力分层的海冰波相互作用设施：气候变化的预测现在影响到社会的各个层面，因为未来的政治、社会和环境计划是在这些模型的基础上制定的。预测需要许多具有广泛参数范围的复杂动态过程的模型。一个重要的过程是边缘冰带(MIZ)动力学。MIZ是开放海洋和完全被冰覆盖的海洋之间的区域，在那里海浪和冰相互作用，导致冰层破裂和海浪衰减。这一独特的设施将使在受控环境中进行海-冰-波相互作用的实验成为可能。将调整水和空气温度、热分层、水波形和冰属性，以保持复杂海洋环境的关键特征。

A thermally stratified sea ice wave interaction facility: Predictions of climate change now impact all levels of society as future political, social and environmental plans are made on the basis of these models. Predictions require models of many complex dynamical processes with a wide range of parameters. An important process is the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) dynamics. The MIZ is the region between the open ocean and the fully ice-covered ocean where waves and ice interact, causing ice-breaking and wave attenuation. This unique facility will enable experiments in sea-ice-wave interactions in a controlled environment. Water and air temperature, thermal stratification, water waveform and ice properties will be adjusted in order to preserve key characteristics of the complex ocean environment.
