‘Surface Drag in the Arctic Marginal Sea-ice Zone: A Comparison of Different Parameterisation Concepts’ 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two parameterisation schemes for the turbulent surface fluxes and drag coefficients over the Arctic marginal sea-ice zone
(MIZ) are (further) developed, and their results are compared with each other. Although the schemes are based on different
principles (flux averaging and parameter averaging), the resulting drag coefficients differ only slightly in the case of neutral
and stable stratification. For unstable stratification and sea-ice conditions being typical for the north-eastern Fram Strait,
the drag coefficients resulting from the parameter-averaging concept are 5–10% larger than those of the flux-averaging concept.
At a sea-ice concentration of 45%, the parameter-averaging method overestimates the heat fluxes by a factor of 1.2. An inclusion
in the schemes of form drag caused by floe edges and ridges has a much larger effect on the drag coefficient, and on the momentum
fluxes, than the choice between the parameter-averaging or flux-averaging methods. Based on sensitivity studies with the flux-averaging
scheme, a simple formula for the effective drag coefficient above the Arctic MIZ is derived. It reduces the computational
costs of the more complex parameterisations and could also be used in larger scale models. With this simple formula, the effective
drag coefficient can be calculated as a function of the sea-ice concentration and skin drag coefficients for water and ice
floes. The results obtained with this parameterisation differ only slightly from those using the more complex schemes. Finally,
it is shown that in the MIZ, drag coefficients for sea-ice models may differ significantly from the effective drag coefficients
used in atmospheric models. 相似文献

The Pleistocene glaciations left a distinct topographic footprint in mountain ranges worldwide. The geometric signature of glacial topography has been quantified in various ways, but the temporal development of landscape metrics has not been traced in a landscape evolution model so far. However, such information is needed to interpret the degree of glacial imprint in terms of the integrated signal of temporal and spatial variations in erosion as a function of glacial occupation time. We apply a surface process model for cold-climate conditions to an initially fluvial mountain range. By exploring evolving topographic patterns in model time series, we determine locations where topographic changes reach a maximum and where the initial landscape persists. The signal of glacial erosion, expressed by the overdeepening of valleys and the steepening of valley flanks, develops first at the glacier front and migrates upstream with ongoing glacial erosion. This leads to an increase of mean channel slope and its variance. Above steep flanks and head-walls, however, the observed mean channel slope remains similar to the mean channel slope of the initial fluvial topography. This leads to a characteristic turning point in the channel slope–elevation distribution above the equilibrium line altitude, where a transition from increasing to decreasing channel slope with elevation occurs. We identify this turning point and a high channel slope variance as diagnostic features to quantify glacial imprint. Such features are abundant in glacially imprinted mid-latitude mountain ranges such as the Eastern Alps. By analysing differently glaciated parts of the mountain range, we observe a decreasing clarity of this diagnostic morphometric property with decreasing glacial occupation. However, catchments of the unglaciated eastern fringe of the Alps also feature turning points in their channel slope–elevation distributions, but in contrast to the glaciated domain, the variance of channel slope is small at all elevation levels. 相似文献
