Representing icebergs in the iLOVECLIM model (version 1.0) – a sensitivity study [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2015 Recent modelling studies have indicated that icebergs play an active role in the climate system as they interact with the ocean and the atmosphere. The icebergs' impact is due to their slowly released meltwater, which freshens and cools the ocean and ...

The life cycle of small- to medium-sized icebergs in the Amundsen Sea Embayment
Polar Research, 2019 An object-based method for automatic iceberg detection has been applied to Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar images in the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), Antarctica.

Remote Sensing, 2020 Icebergs are ocean hazards which require extensive monitoring. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites can help with this, however, SAR backscattering is strongly influenced by the properties of icebergs, together with meteorological and environmental ...

Impact of icebergs on the seasonal submarine melt of Sermeq Kujalleq [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 The role of icebergs in narrow fjords hosting marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland is poorly understood, even though iceberg melt results in a substantial freshwater flux that can exceed the subglacial discharge.

Weddell Sea iceberg drift: Five years of observations [PDF]
, 2006 Since 1999, 52 icebergs have been tagged with GPS buoys in the Weddell Seato enable monitoring of their position. The chosen icebergs were of small tomedium size, with a few icebergs larger than 10 km associatedwith the calving of icebergs A38 and A43 ...

Geographical distribution and volume of Antarctic icebergs derived from ship observation data
Annals of Glaciology, 2017 Information on the occurrence, spatial distribution and morphometric characteristics of Antarctic icebergs is needed in a large number of applications including navigation, heat and freshwater balance calculations, biochemistry of the ocean and ...

Ice sheets as a significant source of highly reactive nanoparticulate iron to the oceans [PDF]
, 2014 The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets cover ~\n10% of global land surface, but are rarely considered as active components of the global iron cycle. The ocean waters around both ice sheets harbour highly productive coastal ecosystems, many of which are ...

Impact of icebergs on net primary productivity in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Productivity in the Southern Ocean (SO) is iron-limited, and supply of iron dissolved from aeolian dust is believed to be the main source from outside the marine environment. However, recent studies show that icebergs could provide a comparable amount of

Aggregate Channel Features and Fast Regions CNN Approach for Classification of Ship and Iceberg
Applied Sciences, 2023 Detection and classification of icebergs and ships in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images play a vital role in marine surveillance systems even though available adaptive threshold methods give satisfying results on detection and classification for ...
