Arctic Freshwater Ice and Its Climatic Role [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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.

Despite a century of warming, increased snowfall has buffered the ice phenology of North America’s largest high-elevation lake against climate change

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
Lakes are sentinels of environmental change. In cold climates, lake ice phenology—the timing and duration of ice cover during winter—is a key control on ecosystem function.

MODIS-based Daily Lake Ice Extent and Coverage dataset for Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesBig Earth Data, 2019
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]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 1998
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.

Understanding two key processes associated with alpine lake ice phenology using a coupled atmosphere-lake model

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2023
Study region: Lake Nam-Co, a typical deep alpine lake in the central of Tibetan Plateau. Study focus: This study investigates the role of surface turbulent fluxes in simulating lake freeze-up and the role of solar radiation transfer (when lake ice exists) in simulating the lake ice break-up.

Evaluating RADARSAT-2 for the Monitoring of Lake Ice Phenology Events in Mid-Latitudes

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
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
