Figure 8.
The ratio of effective transfer velocity in ice (cef f,ice) to nearby open water conditions (cef f,open) are plotted against ice fraction. The effective transfer velocity in open water is taken as the mean value of the nearby open water measurements. The in-ice transfer velocities are up to an order of magnitude smaller than the nearby open water counterparts, showing the decrease in energy flux from wind to waves.
