Retracing the Response of Rangifer to Postglacial Climate Change in Arctic Islands [PDF]
Rangifer tarandus L. plays a key role in Arctic ecosystems as the most numerous and widespread large herbivore. Sea ice is vital for maintaining genetic connectivity in Arctic islands, yet the historical role of sea ice in shaping R.

Impact of sea ice floe size distribution on seasonal fragmentation and melt of Arctic sea ice [PDF]
Recent years have seen a rapid reduction in the summer Arctic sea ice extent. To both understand this trend and project the future evolution of the summer Arctic sea ice, a better understanding of the physical processes that drive the seasonal loss of ...

On the improvement of sea-ice models for climate simulations: the sea ice model intercomparison project [PDF]
Experiments with dynamic thermodynamic sea-ice models indicate a strong dependence of the net freezing rate, sea-ice transport and variability on dynamic model parameters. Although current dynamic—thermodynamic sea-ice models show relatively good agreement with observations, an optimization seems to be necessary, especially for the parameterizations of

Satellite-retrieved sea ice concentration uncertainty and its effect on modelling wave evolution in marginal ice zones [PDF]
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.

Sensitivity of NEMO4.0-SI3 model parameters on sea ice budgets in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
The seasonally dependent Antarctic sea ice concentration (SIC) budget is well observed and synthesizes many important air–sea–ice interaction processes.

Sea Ice Properties in High‐Resolution Sea Ice Models [PDF]
AbstractAn Arctic sea ice‐ocean model is run with three uniform horizontal resolutions (6, 4, and 2 km) and identical sea ice and ocean model parameterizations, including an isotropic viscous‐plastic sea ice rheology, a mechanical ice strength parameterization, and an ice ridging parameterization. Driven by the same atmospheric forcing, the three model
