Explaining the patterns formed by ice floe interactions
We provide a quantitative explanation of the patterns commonly observed during the collision of two floating ice sheets (ice floes): simple raffing, finger rafting, or the formation of a pressure ridge. In particular, we analyze the equilibrium configurations of the ice in each of the two types of r...
