The significant loss of sea ice in both hemispheres over the past decades presents a challenge for existing climate models, which struggle to accurately predict these changes due to inadequate representation of ocean and sea ice interactions at sub-grid scales. This project seeks to deepen our understanding of these fine-scale processes, including the melting and breakage of sea ice, by employing a framework that integrates an ocean Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with a Discrete Element Model (DEM) of sea ice. Simulation results will be validated against in-situ and remote sensing data from the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The successful candidate will develop parameterizations that emulate these physical processes for application in coarsely-resolved climate models.
