Figure 10.
Scaling of waves in Beaufort Sea in 2012 at wave mooring in Beaufort Sea, 75° N 150°W, with nondimensional wave energy versus nondimensional open water distance. This scaling represents a reanalysis of the results presented in Thomson and Rogers (2014), by using the IMS ice product and screening out waves not classified as distance-limited. Dashed line is least squares regression, with a slope of χ0.63. Waves in partial ice for October 27 are shown as open circles on line to infer nondimensional distance, χice.
