Review of the design considerations for the laboratory growth of sea ice
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Sample collection and field studies of sea ice take place under harsh conditions which, combined with the logistical difficulties and high cost of voyages to the polar regions, limits the abilities of researchers to determine its properties. Observations

Enigmatic surface rolls of the Ellesmere Ice Shelf
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 The once-contiguous Ellesmere Ice Shelf, first reported in writing by European explorers in 1876, and now almost completely disintegrated, has rolling, wave-like surface topography, the origin of which we investigate using a viscous buckling instability ...

A Thermodynamic Model of the Formation, Growth, and Decay of First-Year Sea Ice [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1987 AbstractThe formulation and application of a onedimensional sea-ice thermodynamic model is presented in this paper. The model’s sensitivity to changes in oceanic and atmospheric parameters is analyzed and compared with previous studies. The model is next applied to three locations in the Arctic: Cambridge Bay, Frobisher Bay, and Alert Inlet to study ...

Annals of Glaciology, 2020 Columnar sea ice grows with an interface of tiny parallel ice plates, the distance of which is known as plate spacing. While it has been proposed as a fundamental microstructure scale of sea ice, the physics behind its formation has not been fully ...

Surface flooding of Antarctic summer sea ice
Annals of Glaciology, 2020 The surface flooding of Antarctic sea ice in summer covers 50% or more of the sea-ice area in the major summer ice packs, the western Weddell and the Bellingshausen-Amundsen Seas. Two CRREL ice mass-balance buoys were deployed on the Amundsen Sea pack in

A review of level ice and brash ice growth models
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Brash ice forms in harbours and ship channels from frequent ship passages and the resulting freezing–breaking cycles create a unique ice formation. The brash ice accumulation over the winter season is a result of meteorological, thermodynamical and ...

Satellite-retrieved sea ice concentration uncertainty and its effect on modelling wave evolution in marginal ice zones [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Ocean surface waves are known to decay when they interact with sea ice. Wave–ice models implemented in a spectral wave model, e.g. WAVEWATCH III® (WW3), derive the attenuation coefficient based on several different model ice types, i.e.

Annals of Glaciology, 2020 The Ross Sea is known for showing the greatest sea-ice increase, as observed globally, particularly from 1979 to 2015. However, corresponding changes in sea-ice thickness and production in the Ross Sea are not known, nor how these changes have impacted ...

Diversity, 2022 Sea ice is a major driver of biological activity in the Southern Ocean. Its cycle of growth and decay determines life history traits; food web interactions; and populations of many small, ice-associated organisms.

Underwater ice adaptive mapping and reconstruction using autonomous underwater vehicles
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The undersides of floating ice shelves and sea ice in the Antarctic and Arctic are among the least accessible environments on Earth. The interactions between ice shelves, sea ice, and the ocean are of considerable scientific interest.
