Modeling experiments on seasonal lake ice mass and energy balance in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau: a case study [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019
The lake-rich Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) has significant impacts on regional and global water cycles and monsoon systems through heat and water vapor exchange.

Dynamic Lake Ice Movement on Lake Khovsgol, Mongolia, Revealed by Time Series Displacements from Pixel Offset with Sentinel-2 Optical Images

Remote Sensing, 2021
As one of the most sensitive indicators of global climate change, seasonal ice-covered lakes are attracting gaining attention worldwide. As a large seasonal ice-covered lake located in Northern Mongolia, Lake Khovsgol not only provides important ...

A novel method for detecting lake ice cover using optical satellite data

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
Seasonal lake ice is sensitive to temperature fluctuations and long-term temperature trends. It is therefore a good indicator of climate warming, which will likely have dramatic impacts on lake ice phenology in northern latitudes.

LAKE ICE MONITORING WITH WEBCAMS [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018
Abstract. Continuous monitoring of climate indicators is important for understanding the dynamics and trends of the climate system. Lake ice has been identified as one such indicator, and has been included in the list of Essential Climate Variables (ECVs).

Earlier ice loss accelerates lake warming in the Northern Hemisphere

Nature Communications, 2022
How lake temperatures are responding to widespread changes in lake ice remains unclear. Here the authors show the excess lake warming during the ice-off and ice-on month due to earlier ice loss and later ice formation across the Northern Hemisphere.

Star patterns on lake ice [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2007
Star patterns, reminiscent of a wide range of diffusively controlled growth forms from snowflakes to Saffman-Taylor fingers, are ubiquitous features of ice-covered lakes. Despite the commonality and beauty of these "lake stars," the underlying physical processes that produce them have not been explained in a coherent theoretical framework.

Phenological Changes and Driving Forces of Lake Ice in Central Asia from 2002 to 2020

Remote Sensing, 2022
Lake ice phenology is an indicator of past and present climate, it is sensitive to regional and global climate change. In the past few decades, the climate of Central Asia has changed significantly due to global warming and anthropogenic activities ...

Ecology under lake ice [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2016
AbstractWinter conditions are rapidly changing in temperate ecosystems, particularly for those that experience periods of snow and ice cover. Relatively little is known of winter ecology in these systems, due to a historical research focus on summer ‘growing seasons’.

Inter-annual variation in lake ice composition in the European Arctic: observations based on high-resolution thermistor strings [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2021
Climate change and global warming strongly impact the cryosphere. The rise of air temperature and change of precipitation patterns lead to dramatic responses of snow and ice heat and mass balance. Sustainable field observations on lake air–snow–ice–water

Arctic sea ice decline contributes to thinning lake ice trend in northern Alaska

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
Field measurements, satellite observations, and models document a thinning trend in seasonal Arctic lake ice growth, causing a shift from bedfast to floating ice conditions. September sea ice concentrations in the Arctic Ocean since 1991 correlate well (
