Mechanical redistribution of sea ice
= Mechanical redistribution of sea ice
{title2=$\psi(h)$}
<Mechanical redistribution of sea ice> changes thickness-class area through ridging, rafting and lead formation. In the conservative thickness-distribution equation, local volume conservation gives $\int h\psi(h)\,dh=0$; area normalization including open water gives $\int\psi(h)\,dh=\nabla\cdot v$ when thermodynamic boundary fluxes are accounted for consistently.
