Sea ice breakup and freeze-up indicators for users of the Arctic coastal environment [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 The timing of sea ice retreat and advance in Arctic coastal waters varies substantially from year to year. Various activities, ranging from marine transport to the use of sea ice as a platform for industrial activity or winter travel, are affected by ...

Development of an ice-jam flood forecasting modelling framework for freeze-up/winter breakup [PDF]
Hydrology Research, 2023 River ice-jams can create severe flooding along many rivers in cold regions. While ice-jams often form during the spring breakup, the mid-winter breakup can cause ice-jamming and flooding.

Early Freeze-Up over the Bering Sea Controlled by the Aleutian Low [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2023 Early freeze-up affects the local marine environment and ecosystem throughout the entire Bering Sea. However, the process governing early freeze-up, which is responsible for the most significant interannual variation in the December sea ice area (SIA), is not well understood.

Freeze-up, Break-up, and Colonial Circulation
Journal of Northern Studies, 2020 This paper examines the place of ice and snow in the process of Euro-Canadian colonisation of what are today the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Using oral histories and accounts of Indigenous life experiences from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the paper opens with an examination of the ways in which ice and snow, freeze-up and ...

Ice Freeze-up and Break-up Detection of Shallow Lakes in Northern Alaska with Spaceborne SAR [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2015 Shallow lakes, with depths less than ca. 3.5–4 m, are a ubiquitous feature of the Arctic Alaskan Coastal Plain, covering up to 40% of the land surface. With such an extended areal coverage, lakes and their ice regimes represent an important component of ...

Using timing of ice retreat to predict timing of fall freeze‐up in the Arctic [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Reliable forecasts of the timing of sea ice advance are needed in order to reduce risks associated with operating in the Arctic as well as planning of human and environmental emergencies.

Water Discharge Measurement by ADCP During Freeze-up Period
The Bulletin of Irkutsk State University. Series Earth Sciences, 2022 As a part of the modernization of the national hydrological network, a large number of ADCPs were delivered to the stream-gaging stations of the Roshydromet and, as a rule, used only during the open channel period. At the same time, the measurement of water discharge during the freeze-up period has always been a laborious, technically complex task, and

Yukon River ice; freeze-up data (1883-1975) [PDF]
Open-File Report, 1984 Freeze-up observations have been sporadically collected on the Yukon River since the late 19th century. This report contains data from 29 different locations on the river; the earliest observations were made in 1883. The purpose is to compile all the presently known data on the freeze-up of the Yukon River for use in future scientific studies and ...

Temporal and Spatial Evolution of Seasonal Sea Ice of Arctic Bay, Nunavut
Coasts, 2023 The temporal and spatial variation in seasonal sea ice in Arctic Bay, Nunavut, are examined using time series and spatial clustering analyses. For the period of 1971 to 2018, a time series of sea ice break-up, and freeze-up, dates and ice-free season ...
