Hibler, W. D., III, and K. Bryan, 1984: Ocean circulation: Its effects on seasonal sea-ice simulations. Science, 224 (4648), 489-492.

Abstract: A diagnostic ice-ocean model of the Arctic, Greenland, and Norwegian seas is constructed and used to examine the role of ocean circulation in seasonal sea-ice simulations. The model includes a lateral ice motion and three-dimensional ocean circulation. The ocean portion of the model is weakly forced by observed temperature and salinity data. Simulation results show that including modeled ocean circulation in sea-ice simulations substantially improves the predicted ice drift and ice margin location. Simulations that do not include lateral ocean movement predict a much less realistic ice edge.
