Sea ice deformation is localized in narrow zones of high strain rate that extend hundreds of kilometers, for example, across the Arctic Basin. This paper demonstrates that these failure zones may be modeled with a viscous–plastic sea ice model, using an isotropic rheology. If the ice is assumed to be heterogeneous at the grid scale, and allowed to weaken in time, intersecting failure zones propagate across the region. The direction of failure propagation depends upon the stress applied to the ice (wind stress and boundary conditions) and the rheological model describing plastic failure of the ice. The spacing between failure zones is controlled by the magnitude of the wind stress and the distribution describing spatial variability of ice strength. Sea ice motion and deformation oscillate at close to a 12-h period throughout the Arctic and Antarctic pack ice. This oscillation is found at all spatial scales from hundreds of kilometers to the lead scale. It is shown that with an inertial embedded mo...
