Colliding ice floes help explain Arctic drift
A UC Riverside-led study finds that collisions between sea-ice pieces can explain movement that wind-only models miss.
Researchers compared a computer model with measurements from the Fram Strait. The results may improve representations of ice transport, but the paper does not predict exactly where future warming will send the ice.
