An experimental model of reflection and transmission of ocean waves by   an ice floe
  An experimental model of reflection and transmission of ocean waves by an ice floe is presented. Evolution of mechanically-generated, regular waves is monitored in front and in the lee of a solitary, square floe, made of a synthetic material. Results confirm dependence of reflection and transmission on the period of the incident wave. Results also indicate that wave overwash on the floe affects reflection and transmission.
