It is shown that the viscous-plastic Hibler sea ice model admits a unique, strong $T$-time periodic solution provided the given $T$-periodic forcing functions are small in suitable norms. This is in particular true for time periodic wind…

Sea ice is highly complex due to the inhomogeneity of the physical properties (e.g. temperature and salinity) as well as the permeability and mixture of water and a matrix of sea ice and/or sea ice crystals. Such complexity has proven…
