Multidecadal Arctic sea ice thickness and volume derived from ice age [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Sea ice is a key component of the Arctic climate system, and has impacts on global climate. Ice concentration, thickness, and volume are among the most important Arctic sea ice parameters.

Estimating Arctic Sea Ice Thickness with CryoSat-2 Altimetry Data Using the Least Squares Adjustment Method [PDF]
Sensors, 2020 Satellite altimeters can be used to derive long-term and large-scale sea ice thickness changes. Sea ice thickness retrieval is based on measurements of freeboard, and the conversion of freeboard to thickness requires knowledge of the snow depth and snow,

A Bayesian ice thickness estimation model for large-scale applications
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Accurate estimations of ice thickness and volume are indispensable for ice flow modelling, hydrological forecasts and sea-level rise projections. We present a new ice thickness estimation model based on a mass-conserving forward model and a Bayesian ...

Interannual sea ice thickness variability in the Bay of Bothnia [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 While variations of Baltic Sea ice extent and thickness have been extensively studied, there is little information about drift ice thickness, distribution, and its variability. In our study, we quantify the interannual variability of sea ice thickness

New insight from CryoSat-2 sea ice thickness for sea ice modelling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Estimates of Arctic sea ice thickness have been available from the CryoSat-2 (CS2) radar altimetry mission during ice growth seasons since 2010. We derive the sub-grid-scale ice thickness distribution (ITD) with respect to five ice thickness categories ...

Estimating lake ice thickness in Central Ontario. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Lakes are a key geographical feature in Canada and have an impact on the regional climate. In the winter, they are important for recreational activities such as snowmobiling and ice fishing and act as part of an important supply route for northern ...

Assimilation of sea-ice concentration in a global climate model – physical and statistical aspects [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2013 We investigate the initialisation of Northern Hemisphere sea ice in the global climate model ECHAM5/MPI-OM by assimilating sea-ice concentration data. The analysis updates for concentration are given by Newtonian relaxation, and we discuss different ways
