The potential of sea ice leads as a predictor for summer Arctic sea ice extent [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The Arctic sea ice extent throughout the melt season is closely associated with initial sea ice state in winter and spring. Sea ice leads are important sites of energy fluxes in the Arctic Ocean, which may play an important role in the evolution of ...

The spatiotemporal patterns of sea ice in the Bohai Sea during the winter seasons of 2000–2016
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2019 In this study, sea ice thickness (SIT) and sea ice extent (SIE) in the Bohai Sea from 2000 to 2016 were investigated. A surface heat balance equation was applied to calculate SIT using ice surface temperatures estimated from the Moderate Resolution ...

The early twentieth century warming and winter Arctic sea ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 The Arctic has featured the strongest surface warming over the globe during the recent decades, and the temperature increase has been accompanied by a rapid decline in sea ice extent.

Variability and trends in sea ice extent and ice production in the Ross Sea [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2011 Salt release during sea ice formation in the Ross Sea coastal regions is regarded as a primary forcing for the regional generation of Antarctic Bottom Water. Passive microwave data from November 1978 through 2008 are used to examine the detailed seasonal and interannual characteristics of the sea ice cover of the Ross Sea and the adjacent ...

Sea-ice extent and its trend provide limited metrics of model performance [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 We examine how the evaluation of modelled sea-ice coverage against reality is affected by uncertainties in the retrieval of sea-ice coverage from satellite, by the usage of sea-ice extent to overcome these uncertainties, and by internal variability.

Bellingshausen Sea ice extent recorded in an Antarctic Peninsula ice core [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2016 AbstractAnnual net accumulation (An) from the Bruce Plateau (BP) ice core retrieved from the Antarctic Peninsula exhibits a notable relationship with sea ice extent (SIE) in the Bellingshausen Sea. Over the satellite era, both BP An and Bellingshausen SIE are influenced by large‐scale climatic factors such as the Amundsen Sea Low, Southern Annular Mode,

Variations in the age of Arctic sea‐ice and summer sea‐ice extent [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2004 Three of the past six summers have exhibited record low sea‐ice extent on the Arctic Ocean. These minima may have been dynamically induced by changes in the surface winds. Based on results of a simple model that keeps track of the age of ice as it moves about on the Arctic Ocean, we show that the areal coverage of thick multi‐year ice decreased ...

Extent and relevance of stacking disorder in “ice Ic” [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 A solid water phase commonly known as “cubic ice” or “ice Ic” is frequently encountered in various transitions between the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of the water substance. It may form, e.g., by water freezing or vapor deposition in the Earth’s atmosphere or in extraterrestrial environments, and plays a central role in various cryopreservation ...

April sea ice extent in the Barents Sea, 1850?2001 [PDF]
Polar Research, 2003 Three observational data sets are used to construct a continuous record (1850–2001) of April ice edge position in the Barents Sea: two sets of Norwegian ice charts (one from 1850 to 1949 and the other from 1966 to 2001) and Soviet aircraft reconnaissance ice extent charts from 1950 to 1966.

Sea Ice Extent Detection in the Bohai Sea Using Sentinel-3 OLCI Data
Remote Sensing, 2019 Sea ice distribution is an important indicator of ice conditions and regional climate change in the Bohai Sea (China). In this study, we monitored the spatiotemporal distribution of the Bohai Sea ice in the winter of 2017−2018 by developing sea ice
