Abstract
A mechanism of steady state creep is proposed to describe the attenuation rate of long-period ocean waves in fields of sea ice. It is shown that this mechanism fits the existing wave observations of Robin [1963] and Wadhams [1973] provided a Glen-type flow law is employed with an exponent n = 3 and a flow law parameter 〈B〉 similar to the value for polycrystalline ice near the melting point.
