The influence of ocean flow on newly forming sea ice [PDF]
The heat and mass balance of the Arctic Ocean is very sensitive to the growth and decay of sea ice and the interaction between the heat and salt fields in the oceanic boundary layer.

Review of the design considerations for the laboratory growth of sea ice
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

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

Enigmatic surface rolls of the Ellesmere Ice Shelf
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]
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 ...

Geographic muting of changes in the Arctic sea ice cover [PDF]
The seasonal cycle in Arctic sea ice extent is asymmetric. Its amplitude has grown in recent decades as the ice has retreated more rapidly in summer than in winter.

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 ...

A deep-sea coral record of North Atlantic radiocarbon through the Younger Dryas: Evidence for intermediate water/deepwater reorganization [PDF]
Our record of Younger Dryas intermediate-depth seawater Δ^(14)C from North Atlantic deep-sea corals supports a link between abrupt climate change and intermediate ocean variability.

Surface flooding of Antarctic summer sea ice
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
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 ...
