Abstract: Ice jams following the mechanical breakup of river ice cover can cause severe flooding with rapidly increasing stages and attain higher stages than those associated with ice-free conditions. This paper discusses methods for forecasting the occurrence of breakup and ice jams and the application of a deterministic model to simulate the related flood extent.
