| Abstract |
The surface roughness of sea ice is highly variable because of the diversity of discrete obstacles to the flow present on the sea ice surface. These obstacles result in form drag, an effect poorly accounted for in the calculation of surface fluxes over sea ice in climate models. In this study, we implement in the ocean–sea ice model NEMO-LIM3 a variable formulation of the atmospheric and oceanic neutral drag coefficients over sea ice that includes the form drag effect. We examine the impact of this formulation on the ice cover and ocean surface properties over the past decades in the Arctic and Antarctic. Including form drag in the simulations leads to 10–50 cm thinner sea ice in the peripheral Arctic seas and ∼10 cm thicker sea ice in the Antarctic ice pack on annual means. Form drag significantly impacts summer sea surface temperatures in the marginal ice zone (+0.5 to +1.5 °C in the Arctic and -0.5 °C in the Antarctic) and sea surface salinities under the ice cover (+0.52 to +0.89 g/kg in both polar regions). The seasonality of the ocean surface stress under sea ice is reversed, with a maximum (minimum) ocean surface stress under sea ice in summer (winter) when including form drag. However, this seasonal reversal is likely too intense in our simulations due to the underestimation of the prescribed mean floe lengths in summer. In the Arctic, the long-term declines in sea ice volume and multi-year ice are associated with decreasing neutral drag coefficients and negative trends in ocean surface stress. In the Antarctic, the trends in the neutral drag coefficients control the increase (decrease) in ocean surface stress in the Weddell and Ross (Bellingshausen and Amundsen) Seas. Form drag results in a 22–38 % deeper summer mixed layer under polar sea ice and a year-long 10–25 m deeper mixed layer in the Central Arctic. All these impacts on the ocean surface properties demonstrate the relevance of form drag for polar ocean modelling. |
