Specific problems of storm surge modeling in the polar seas are analyzed. The vertically integrated equations of motion and continuity are applied to the prediction of the storm surge wave in both the ice-free and ice-covered seas. The interactions of atmosphere, ice, and water are expressed by the normal and tangential stresses. A numerical grid is set over the Chukchi and Beaufort seas, and three storm surges are simulated and briefly described. Patterns of motion and sea surface geometry are related to low and high atmospheric pressure systems. Comparison of the measured and computed sea level and observed and computed ice edge proves that the model is suitable to reproduce both water and ice motion.
