Arctic Freshwater Ice and Its Climatic Role [PDF]
Freshwater ice dominates the Arctic terrestrial environment and significantly impacts bio-physical and socio-economic systems. Unlike other major cryospheric components that either blanket large expanses (e.g., snow, permafrost, sea ice) or

Vanishing river ice cover in the lower part of the Danube basin – signs of a changing climate [PDF]
Many of the world’s largest rivers in the extra tropics are covered with ice during the cold season, and in the Northern Hemisphere approximately 60% of the rivers experience significant seasonal effects of river ice.

Study on the Phenological Changes of Snow and Lake Ice in Qinghai Lake Basin based on MODIS Data
Phenological changes are of great significance to the study of climate response and ecological environment.Based on the MODIS V6 snow product and reflectivity product in the past 20 years, the snow and lake ice phenology in the Qinghai Lake Basin were ...

MODIS-based Daily Lake Ice Extent and Coverage dataset for Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau houses numerous lakes, the phenology and duration of lake ice in this region are sensitive to regional and global climate change, and as such are used as key indicators in climate change research, particularly in environment change ...

Global patterns of lake ice phenology and climate: Model simulations and observations [PDF]
Lake ice phenology parameters (dates of ice onset and thaw) provide an integrative climatic description of autumn to springtime conditions. Interannual variations in lake ice duration and thickness allow estimates of local climatic variability. In addition, long‐term changes in lake ice phenology may provide a robust indication of climatic change.

Evaluating RADARSAT-2 for the Monitoring of Lake Ice Phenology Events in Mid-Latitudes
Lake ice is an important component in understanding the local climate as changes in temperature have an impact on the timing of key ice phenology events. In recent years, there has been a decline in the in-situ monitoring of lake ice events in Canada and
