INTRODUCTION

THE ARCTIC ICE DYNAMICS JOINT EXPERIMENT (AIDJEX) was an American-Canadian project to develop a comprehensive model of sea ice cover under the combined influences of the atmosphere and the ocean. From sea ice modeling studies in the 1950s and early 1960s, it had become clear that the "missing link" in resolving the momentum equation was the flow law for sea ice, that is, the law describing internal ice stress and its spatial propagation (Doronoin and Kheisin, 1975). The central idea of AIDJEX was that a realistic formulation of this law would eventually permit ...
