- Wave decay in the marginal ice zones (MIZ) plays a crucial role in shaping the Arctic Ocean behaviours. Parameterizing wave decay in the MIZ is indispensable in climate models for better capturing the climate change in the Arctic. However, current wave decay parameterizations were developed without considering the influences of wave source terms. This study investigated the role and contributions of different source terms in shaping the MIZ wave decay based on sensitivity simulations. Simulation results show that the ice-induced damping term is the main contributor to MIZ wave decay. The wind input source term also plays an important role in the wave evolution in the MIZ. During high wind speeds (wind speed>10Â m/s), wind input was found to increase the wave height by about 10% on average (relative to the wave height decayed by ice), irrespective of the sea ice concentration. Wind input contributes up to 30% in high wind speed areas with low sea ice concentration. Meanwhile, the contributions from wind input term to MIZ wave are more important when winds blow from the open water to MIZ. However, the angle between winds and waves is insignificant in shaping contributions from wind input. Low SIC and high wind speed conditions also favour the enhancement of wave spreading. In general, the contributions from nonlinear waveâwave interactions and dissipation source terms were found to play a minor role in shaping MIZ wave decay. However, the role of nonlinear waveâwave interactions can be important in shaping the wave spectrum. Thus, it is suggested to update the model wave decay parameterizations to accommodate the role played by wind input source term, in particular under high wind speed conditions.
