Abstract
A series of tests has been conducted to investigate the increased ice-
water drag exhibited by ice floes in two-layer, salinity-stratified wa
ter. Scaled model tests are used to quantify the additional drag due t
o internal wave creation at the fresh water-salt water interface. This
additional drag is shown to have a peak value five times the drag in
similar unstratified conditions and to have a strong dependence on a f
ew well-defined nondimensional parameters describing the ice and water
characteristics.
