Waters, J.K. and Bruno, M.S. (1995). Internal wave generation by ice floes moving in stratified water: Results from a laboratory study. Journal of Geophysical Research 100: doi: 10.1029/95JC01220. issn: 0148-0227.

A series of tests has been conducted to investigate the increased ice-water drag exhibited by ice floes in two-layer, salinity-stratified water. Scaled model tests are used to quantify the additional drag due to 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 few well-defined nondimensional parameters describing the ice and water characteristics. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995
