An idealised wave-ice interaction model without subgrid spatial and   temporal discretisations
  A modified version of the wave-ice interaction model proposed by Williams et al (2013a,b) is presented for an idealised transect geometry. Wave attenuation due to ice floes and wave-induced ice fracture are both included in the wave-ice interaction model. Subgrid spatial and temporal discretisations are not required in the modified version of the model, thereby facilitating its future integration into large-scaled coupled models. Results produced by the new model are compared to results produced by the original model of Williams et al (2013b).
