An analytical study on the mechanism of ice tongues and jets along ice edge (Jinping Zhao) $BH/I=MW;]!'(B
Along ice edge zone in polar region, there are some special phenomena, such as ice tongue, jet, eddy pairs, bands, etc. These phenomena represent some important dynamic processes by which ice melts quite fast and heat exchange stronger. Recent years, the phenomena have been frequently observed by air-borne SAR and satellite SAR. Some theories have been proposed to explain the mechanism of these phenomena. Main point of view for the mechanism of these phenomena is so called dynamic instability. Some numerical models have been used to model the phenomena. As the phenomena occurs very frequently and the modeling results are not satisfied, it is suggested that the phenomena might be caused by some stable processes, not by instability. In this study, a new physical model is proposed to address the key action of wind stress, which is considered to be the basic reason to generate such phenomena. With the condition along ice edge, wind can cause these special phenomena. An analytical model is established to the ice edge zone and a stable solution is obtained. The result states that the curl of wind stress is the key reason for generating ice tongue and jet with linear theory, and eddy pairs by nonlinear theory. The study gives different flow patterns in different wind conditions, for example, the symmetric ice tongue, asymmetric tongue, jet and its extension, sea level change, complicated under ice flow, etc. By these result,two independent flow patterns are proposed, which can better explain the processes along ice edge.
