Satellite microwave assessment of Northern Hemisphere lake ice phenology from 2002 to 2015 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 A new automated method enabling consistent satellite assessment of seasonal lake ice phenology at 5 km resolution was developed for all lake pixels (water coverage ≥ 90 %) in the Northern Hemisphere using 36.5 GHz H-polarized brightness temperature (Tb)

Shorter Ice Duration and Changing Phenology Influence Under-Ice Lake Temperature Dynamics. [PDF]
J Geophys Res BiogeosciAbstractTemperate lakes worldwide are losing ice cover but the implications for under‐ice thermal dynamics are poorly constrained. Using a 92‐year record of ice phenology from a temperate and historically dimictic lake, we examined trends, variability, and drivers of ice phenology and under‐ice temperatures.

An automated method to monitor lake ice phenology [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, 2011 A simple method to automatically measure the date of ice‐on, the date of ice‐off, and the duration of lake ice cover is described. The presence of ice cover is detected by recording water temperature just below the ice/water interface and just above the lake bottom using moored temperature sensors.

Sea ice phenology in the Caspian Sea
Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2021 To understand the spatial and temporal variations in the extent and timing of sea ice in the Caspian Sea (CS), 15 years of sea ice presence and its phenology (freeze-up, break-up, and duration) were studied in the Northern CS (NCS) for a period from 2004 to 2018.

The ice phenology as a predictor of Planktothrix rubescens bloom in vegetation season in temperate lakes. [PDF]
Front MicrobiolIntroductionGlobal warming affects air and water temperatures, which impacts the phenology of lakes and aquatic ecosystems. These changes are most noticeable during winter, when the potentially toxic Planktothrix rubescens forms its inoculum for annual blooms. Mostly, research has been conducted on alpine lakes, where blooms have persisted for decades,

On the phenology and seeding potential of sea-ice microalgal species
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2022 Sea ice is an important habitat for a wide variety of microalgal species. Depending on the species composition, sea ice can be a seeding source for pelagic phytoplankton blooms after ice melt in spring. Sea-ice algal communities were studied over 2 full winter seasons in 2014 and 2016 at Rothera Research Station, situated at the Western Antarctic ...

A longer vernal window: The role of winter coldness and snowpack in driving spring thresholds and lags [PDF]
, 2017 Climate change is altering the timing and duration of the vernal window, a period that marks the end of winter and the start of the growing season when rapid transitions in ecosystem energy, water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics take place.
