Impact of rheology on probabilistic forecasts of sea ice trajectories: application for search and rescue operations in the Arctic [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 We present a sensitivity analysis and discuss the probabilistic forecast capabilities of the novel sea ice model neXtSIM used in hindcast mode. The study pertains to the response of the model to the uncertainty on winds using probabilistic forecasts ...

Operational SAR-based sea ice drift monitoring over the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2012 An algorithm for computing ice drift from pairs of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images covering a common area has been developed at FMI. The algorithm has been developed based on the C-band SAR data over the Baltic Sea. It is based on phase correlation

Impact of Sea Ice Drift Retrieval Errors, Discretization and Grid Type on Calculations of Ice Deformation [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 We studied two issues to be considered in the calculation of parameters characterizing sea ice deformation: the effect of uncertainties in an automatically retrieved sea ice drift field, and the influence of the type of drift vector grid.

Multiscale variations in Arctic sea ice motion and links to atmospheric and oceanic conditions [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Arctic sea ice drift motion affects the global material balance, energy exchange and climate change and seriously affects the navigational safety of ships along certain channels.

Validating satellite derived and modelled sea-ice drift in the Laptev Sea with in situ measurements from the winter of 2007/2008 [PDF]
Polar Research, 2011 A correct representation of the ice movement in an Arctic sea-ice–ocean coupled model is essential for a realistic sea-ice and ocean simulation. The aim of this study is to validate the observational and simulated sea-ice drift for the Laptev Sea ...

Towards a swath-to-swath sea-ice drift product for the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer mission [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Across spatial and temporal scales, sea-ice motion has implications for ship navigation, the sea-ice thickness distribution, sea-ice export to lower latitudes and re-circulation in the polar seas, among others.

Relationships between Arctic sea ice drift and strength modelled by NEMO-LIM3.6 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Sea ice cover and thickness have substantially decreased in the Arctic Ocean since the beginning of the satellite era. As a result, sea ice strength has been reduced, allowing more deformation and fracturing and leading to increased sea ice drift ...

Instantaneous sea ice drift speed from TanDEM-X interferometry [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 The drift of sea ice is an important geophysical process with widespread implications for the ocean energy budget and ecosystems. Drifting sea ice can also threaten marine operations and present a hazard for ocean vessels and installations.

Sea Ice Drift from GPS Tracker Deployed in the Arctic Ocean [PDF]
Geo Data, 2023 Sea ice is monitored on a regular basis by satellite observation; however, image-based drift tracking is imprecise as the time interval forming the image-pair is too large to capture the actual trajectory of ice drift. In this study, drift trajectory and
