Short summary
In the Arctic, declining sea ice allows waves to penetrate farther into ice-covered regions, altering ocean–atmosphere exchanges of heat and momentum. Wave–wind interactions can enhance upper-ocean mixing and influence heat storage, but this process is poorly understood in sea ice. Using a coupled wave–sea ice model, we show that such mixing is intermittent and localized, yet likely to become more important as Arctic sea ice continues to decline.
