Abstract
It is shown that the empirical McPhee [8] damping term for inertial oscillations in time-dependent ice-ocean motion can be derived as a first-order correction when the air stress is quadratic in air relative to ice velocity. Analytical expressions are derived for the leading term transient ice and surface oceanic boundary-layer velocities and the mass transport function of a perturbation expansion in a small parameter e[O(10-1)-O(10-2)], the ratio of scale ice speed to air speed.
