Abstract
The viscous-plastic (VP) rheology and the Maxwell elasto-brittle (MEB) rheology were compared in a common framework. To this end, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (MITgcm) was complemented by the MEB rheology for sea ice. The results challenge the reported advantages of the MEB rheology over the VP rheology and encourage further research on the source of spatial heterogeneity in sea ice models.
