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 ...

Impact assessment of snow thickness, sea ice density and water density in CryoSat-2-derived sea ice thickness [PDF]
The CryosphereSea ice thickness is an essential climate variable, which is often derived from satellite altimetry freeboard estimates, e.g., by CryoSat-2. In order to convert freeboard to sea ice thickness, assumptions are needed for snow thickness, snow density, sea ...

Antarctic ice sheet thickness estimation using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio method with single-station seismic ambient noise [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 We report on a successful application of the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (H / V) method, generally used to investigate the subsurface velocity structures of the shallow crust, to estimate the Antarctic ice sheet thickness for the first time.

Ice thickness determination with audio sound. [PDF]
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2013 The objective of this study is to determine the thickness of Ice by analyzing the sound spectrum generated by dispersion of lamb waves propagating in ice. In winters when the lakes and rivers freeze, it is important to know the thickness of the ice layer before one intends to walk on it.

Temporal Variations in Ice Thickness of the Shirase Glacier Derived from Cryosat-2/SIRAL Data
Remote Sensing, 2023 This study presents the feasibility of estimating the ice thickness of the Shirase Glacier using the synthetic aperture interferometric radar altimeter (SIRAL) on board the CryoSat-2 and the interannual variation of the ice thickness of the Shirase ...

PROCEDURE OF EXTRACTING THIN ICE AREAS IN THE SEA OF OKHOTSK USING MODIS DATA [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022 The latest IPCC report clearly stated that the human influence is the main reason of sea ice reduction in the Arctic. Importance of sea ice monitoring from space is increasing.

Dependence of Sea Ice Yield-Curve Shape on Ice Thickness [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2004 Abstract In this note, the authors discuss the contribution that frictional sliding of ice floes (or floe aggregates) past each other and pressure ridging make to the plastic yield curve of sea ice. Using results from a previous study that explicitly modeled the amount of sliding and ridging that occurs for a given global strain rate, it

Measuring and inferring the ice thickness distribution of four glaciers in the Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Glaciers in the Tien Shan mountains contribute considerably to the fresh water used for irrigation, households and energy supply in the dry lowland areas of Kyrgyzstan and its neighbouring countries. To date, reconstructions of the current ice volume and

Modeling the thermodynamics of a sea ice thickness distribution: 1. Sensitivity to ice thickness resolution [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1997 A one‐dimensional ice thickness distribution model is presented to determine the minimum number of ice thicknesses necessary to resolve the area‐averaged annual cycles of ice thickness and turbulent fluxes. The baseline case includes 40 ice thickness categories; ice thickness and area, meltwater ponds, ice salinity and age, snow cover, and surface ...
