Yet\, the accurate representation of land- fast ice in most large-scale sea ice models remains a challenge\, part due to the difficult (and sometimes non-physical) parametrisation of ice frac ture. In this study\, a linear elastic model is developed to investigate t he internal stresses induced by the wind on the land-fast ice\, modelled a s a 2D elastic plate. The model simulate ice fracture by the implementatio n of a damage coefficient which causes a local reduction in internal stres s. This results in a cascade propagation of damage\, simulating the fractu re of a land-fast ice cover. \n To estimate the large scale mechanical prop erties of land-fast ice\, land-fast ice break up events and ice bridge for mations are observed in the Siberian Arctic. These events are identified u sing brightness temperature imagery from the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Im aging Spectroradiometer) Terra and Aqua satellites\, from which the positi on of the flaw lead is identifiable by the opening of polynyi adjacent to the land-fast ice. The shape of the land-fast ice before\, during and afte r these events\, along with the characteristic scale of the resulting ice floes\, are compared to the model results to extrapolate the stress states that corresponds to these observations. These results will then be used t o determine the model setting that best reproduce the scale of the observe d break up events.\n\n \n DTSTART:20160210T193000Z DTEND:20160210T200000Z LOCATION:Room 934\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Student Seminar: Mathieu Plante URL:/meteo/channels/event/student-seminar-mathieu-plan te-255072 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
