Arctic sea ice cover data from spaceborne synthetic aperture radar by deep learning [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2021 Widely used sea ice concentration and sea ice cover in polar regions are derived mainly from spaceborne microwave radiometer and scatterometer data, and the typical spatial resolution of these products ranges from several to dozens of kilometers.

Bridge Pier Scour under Ice Cover
Water (Switzerland), 2021 Bridge pier scour is a complex process, which is influenced by many parameters, including the presence of ice cover around piers. To better understand the influence of ice on bridge pier scour, an artificial ice cover, equipped with either a smooth or a ...

Increased sea ice cover alters food web structure in East Antarctica. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 In recent years, sea ice cover along coasts of East Antarctica has tended to increase. To understand ecological implications of these environmental changes, we studied benthic food web structure on the coasts of Adélie Land during an event of unusually ...

Arctic Ocean sea ice cover during the penultimate glacial and the last interglacial. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 Coinciding with global warming, Arctic sea ice has rapidly decreased during the last four decades and climate scenarios suggest that sea ice may completely disappear during summer within the next about 50–100 years.

Positive Trend in the Antarctic Sea Ice Cover and Associated Changes in Surface Temperature. [PDF]
J Clim, 2017 The Antarctic sea ice extent has been slowly increasing contrary to expected trends due to global warming and results from coupled climate models. After a record high extent in 2012 the extent was even higher in 2014 when the magnitude exceeded 20×106 ...

Course of ice phenomena in small water reservoir in Katowice (Poland) in the winter season 2011/2012 [PDF]
Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2013 Investigations on the ice phenomena were carried out on a small water reservoir located in the northern part of Katowice, at A4 motorway, in terrains of the Shopping-Service Centre “3 Ponds” (“Trzy Stawy”).

Interaction of flexural-gravity waves in ice cover with vertical walls. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018 Diffraction of flexural-gravity waves in an ice cover by a bottom mounted structure with vertical walls is studied. The problem is solved by using the so-called vertical modes corresponding to the roots of the dispersion relation for flexural-gravity ...

Ice-cover is the principal driver of ecological change in High Arctic lakes and ponds. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 Recent climate change has been especially pronounced in the High Arctic, however, the responses of aquatic biota, such as diatoms, can be modified by site-specific environmental characteristics.

Divergent oxygen trends in ice-covered lakes driven by ice-cover decline and ecological memory. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S ADissolved oxygen (DO) is an essential resource in ice-covered lakes, regulating water quality and biodiversity, including the survival of economically important fish species. Most of the world’s lakes seasonally freeze, often resulting in oxygen depletion as ice cover inhibits water column ventilation and snow cover limits photosynthesis ...
