DESCRIPTION:Can you improve the modelled sea-ice deformation distributions?
  - Take action in this seminar in which you are the hero!  \n\nSea-ice def
 ormations are a key component for modelling high-latitude and global clima
 te. On the one hand\, opening of leads forms regions of open water where t
 he energy and momentum fluxes between the atmosphere and the ocean are inc
 reased. On the other hand\, ridging is an important mechanism for maintain
 ing thick ice floes and therefore a perennial sea-ice cover\, which is a m
 ajor player in the ice-albedo feedback. It is therefore important that sea
 -ice deformations be represented accurately in sea-ice models. Recent stud
 ies have shown that the most commonly used sea-ice deformation scheme in n
 umerical models does not reproduce the observed statistical properties of 
 the deformation distributions. You are a PhD student and your supervisor g
 ives you a mission: find out why we are not able to accurately model the d
 eformation distributions and find a way to improve it. Day and night\, man
 y questions appear on your mind... How are deformations represented in sea
 -ice models? How bad are we doing in reproducing observations of sea-ice d
 eformations? Is it a fundamental problem of our current sea-ice deformatio
 n scheme or can we tune it in order to have better agreement with observat
 ions? What parameters can we tune and in what way should we change them to
  have better agreement with observations? Come and get the answers to thes
 e questions in this seminar in which you are the hero. Choose what analysi
 s to perform and decide what steps to take next! Will you be able to find 
 out how to improve the modelled sea-ice deformations distributions?\n
