Short summary
We include a suitable plastic damage parametrization in the standard viscous–plastic (VP) sea ice model to disentangle its effect from resolved model physics (visco-plastic with and without damage) on its ability to reproduce observed scaling laws of deformation. This study shows that including a damage parametrization in the VP model improves its performance in simulating the statistical behavior of fracture patterns. Therefore, a damage parametrization is a powerful tuning knob.
