Figure 1:Schematic showing the growth of (a) significant wave height, , and (b) peak wave period , with open water distance (fetch, ) between sea ice floes of various sizes (; shown in gray) in a one-dimensional domain with wind blowing from left to right. Wave statistics in the schematic were generated using the wave model SWAN (Section 2.4), run in one-dimensional mode in a similar configuration to that used in the remainder of the study.
