Winter Sightings of Marine Mammals in Arctic Pack Ice
ARCTIC, 1987 There is limited information about the winter distribution of some arctic marine mammals. In February-March 1976 six species of marine mammals were sighted in the pack ice of Baffin Bay and Davis Strait. Hooded seals were sighted along the ice edge in February, but in late March adults with pups were seen.

Hydraulic controls of summer Arctic pack ice albedo [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2004 Linkages between albedo, surface morphology, melt pond distribution, and properties of first‐year and multiyear sea ice have been studied at two field sites in the North American Arctic between 1998 and 2001. It is shown that summer sea‐ice albedo depends critically on surface melt‐pond hydrology, controlled by melt rate, ice permeability, and ...

Wave–sea-ice interactions in a brittle rheological framework [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 As sea ice extent decreases in the Arctic, surface ocean waves have more time and space to develop and grow, exposing the marginal ice zone (MIZ) to more frequent and more energetic wave events.

Potential source regions and processes of aerosol in the summer Arctic [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015 Sub-micrometer particle size distributions measured during four summer cruises of the Swedish icebreaker Oden 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2008 were combined with dimethyl sulfide gas data, back trajectories, and daily maps of pack ice cover in order to ...

Atmospheric highs drive asymmetric sea ice drift during lead opening from Point Barrow [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Throughout winter, the winds of migrating weather systems drive the recurrent opening of sea ice leads from Alaska's northernmost headland, Point Barrow.

A Study of the M-2 Tide in the Ice-Covered Arctic Ocean [PDF]
Modeling, Identification and Control, 1981 A model to study M2 tide propagation in the Arctic Ocean based on the equation of motion of the water and the pack ice, is considered. The mechanics of the ice floe interaction is described by the non-linear viscous constitutive loaw.

Variability and changes of Arctic sea ice draft distribution – submarine sonar measurements revisited [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2011 Changes in the mean sea ice thickness and concentration in the Arctic are well known. However, quantitative information about changes in the ice thickness distribution and the composition of the pack ice is lacking.

The effect of sea-ice parameterizations on the simulation of the Arctic ice pack [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1997 A one-dimensional (1-D), thermodynamic sea-ice model with parameterized ice dynamics is coupled to a mixed-layer ocean model and driven with prescribed atmospheric forcings for the central Arctic.

Studies of the Mass Budget of Arctic Pack-Ice Floes [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1965 AbstractThe processes of melting, freezing, precipitation, evaporation and condensation were considered in the computation of the mass budget of an ice floe in the northern Chukchi Sea. It was bound that condensation and evaporation contribute negligible amounts, and that melting accounted for the largest loss from the upper surface of the floe.

Past and future interannual variability in Arctic sea ice in coupled climate models [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 The diminishing Arctic sea ice pack has been widely studied, but previous research has mostly focused on time-mean changes in sea ice rather than on short-term variations that also have important physical and societal consequences.
