Diagnostic Studies of Large-Scale Air-Sea-Ice Interactions

  • Chapter
The Geophysics of Sea Ice

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series

Abstract

Two approaches to the problem of large-scale air-sea-ice interaction can be distinguished: numerical modelling and diagnostic (statistical) analysis. The diagnostic approach is the subject of this chapter. Stochastic modelling, which combines the two approaches, is described in Chapter 13 (Lemke).
