Driving Mechanisms of an Extreme Winter Sea Ice Breakup Event in the Beaufort Sea

Driving Mechanisms of an Extreme Winter Sea Ice Breakup Event in the Beaufort Sea

Abstract The thick multiyear sea ice that once covered large parts of the Arctic is increasingly being replaced by thinner and weaker first‐year ice, making it more vulnerable to breakup by winds. We use the neXtSIM sea ice model to investigate the driving mechanisms behind a large breakup event in...
