DESCRIPTION:<span>Co-authors: Vernon Squire (University of Otago\, NZ)\, F
 abien Montiel (University of Otago\, NZ)<br></span><span><br>The influence
  of ice&ndash\;albedo temperature feedback arising as a result of global c
 limate change is believed to be enhanced by a contemporaneous intensificat
 ion of wave climate in the polar seas. Waves break up the sea ice deeper i
 nto the ice-covered oceans\, accelerating its melting and increasing the a
 rea of ice-free ocean\, which in turn allows for more energetic waves and 
 swells to develop. Although much attention has been given to the effect of
  a broken-up ice cover\, e.g. the marginal ice zone\, on the propagation o
 f ocean waves\, less is known about the impact of waves on the morphology 
 of the sea ice. The latter is principally governed by the break-up of flex
 ing sea-ice floes as a result of wave interactions. A sub-grid scale proce
 ss-based model describing the two-way coupling between the ocean waves and
  sea ice systems will be discussed\, with a particular focus on how to par
 ametrize this coupling in ice/ocean models.</span>
