PhD position in ocean waves-sea ice interactions at IFREMER-CNRS
(Laboratoire d'Oc?anographie Spatiale and Laboratoire de Physique des
Oc?ans)
Brest ? France
Title : Ocean waves in sea ice : scattering, dissipation and breaking of
the ice
Direction by Fabrice Ardhuin, co-direction : Fanny Girard-Ardhuin
Profile
Master in Oceanography or Meteorology, Knowledge in statistics,
experience in programming with MatLab, IDL. Motivated candidate, team
spirit.
Application deadline : 27 April 2015
The application should be submitted by email to fanny.ardhuin@ifremer.fr
<mailto:fanny.ardhuin@ifremer.fr>
The rapid evolution of the Arctic sea ice cover is opening up more
waters and exposing the thinner ice to more powerful storms (e.g.
Thomson and Rogers, 2014). At present the evolution of ocean waves in
sea ice is still very crudely modelled. Both LOS and LPO laboratories in
Brest-Franceare currently involved in two projects to analyse the
evolution of waves in the ice and advance the parametrizations of
wave-ice interactions in both wave models and ice models. One project is
SWARP (FP7 led by NERSC) the other is the ?Sea state? department
research initiative of the U.S. Office of Naval Research (PI Fabrice
Ardhuin, in collaboration with E. Rogers).
The novel modelling capabilities and dedicated field experiments (R/V
Sekuliak cruise, Fall 2015) are great opportunities to test our
understanding of wave-ice interaction processes and their role in the
demise of the Arctic sea ice. We will also combine in situ data and
numerical models with wave measurements from satellite altimeter and ice
properties from radiometers and scatterometers sensors onboard
satellites in order to understand and interpret the high resolution wave
signatures in back-scatter data from the recently launched Sentinel-1
satellite. This may provide useful algorithms for analysing anisotropic
modulations in backscatter data from the future CFOSATmission.
