Short summary
When sea ice moves along the ocean surface, it can generate waves below the ocean surface. Because these processes occur at spatial and temporal scales smaller than those captured by climate models, they need to be approximated. Here, we (1) find the relevant value ranges and spatial distributions of the parameters that describe this problem to improve this approximation and (2) examine the wave generation and turbulence using numerical experiments for a selected set of parameter values.
