Interaction of sea ice floe size, ocean eddies, and sea ice melting

Abstract The effect of the horizontal size of sea ice floes on sea ice melting is commonly formulated using the ratio between side and basal floe area. This leads to the conclusion that floe size is not important for sea ice evolution when floes exceed about 30 m. This paper considers a mutual inter...
