Empirical sea ice thickness retrieval during the freeze-up period from SMOS high incident angle observations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Sea ice thickness information is important for sea ice modelling and ship operations. Here a method to detect the thickness of sea ice up to 50 cm during the freeze-up season based on high incidence angle observations of the Soil Moisture and ...

Brief communication: Changing mid-twentieth century Antarctic sea ice variability linked to tropical forcing (Discussion Paper) [PDF]
, 2017 Satellite observations demonstrate Antarctic sea ice extent increased between late-1978 and 2015, with significant spatial and seasonal variability. Late spring retreat off George V Land is a major component of the observed increase, but the paucity of ...

Effect of compressive loading on first-year sea-ice permeability
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 The permeability of sea ice can strongly affect the dissipation of wave energy into the ice pack. Sea-ice permeability is known to be impacted by the brine volume fraction and the blockage of flow pathways by the freezing of infiltrating lower salinity ...

Sub-kilometre scale distribution of snow depth on Arctic sea ice from Soviet drifting stations
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 The sub-kilometre scale distribution of snow depth on Arctic sea ice impacts atmosphere-ice fluxes of energy and mass, and is of importance for satellite estimates of sea-ice thickness from both radar and lidar altimeters.

Sea ice dynamics across the Mid-Pleistocene transition in the Bering Sea
Nature Communications, 2018 Modelling studies propose sea ice to be one of the underlying mechanisms for the Mid-Pleistocene transition. Here, the authors show Mid-Pleistocene subarctic North Pacific sea ice dynamics based on biomarkers and biogenic opal accumulation rates ...

Towards improving short-term sea ice predictability using deformation observations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Short-term sea ice predictability is challenging despite recent advancements in sea ice modelling and new observations of sea ice deformation that capture small-scale features (open leads and ridges) at the kilometre scale.

Quantifying polynya ice production in the Laptev Sea with the COSMO model [PDF]
, 2013 Arctic flaw polynyas are considered to be highly productive areas for the formation of sea-ice throughout the winter season. Most estimates of sea-ice production are based on the surface energy balance equation and use global reanalyses as atmospheric ...

Regime shift in sea-ice characteristics and impact on the spring bloom in the Baltic Sea
Oceanologia, 2022 We evaluated the temporal and spatial trends of the hydrological (temperature and sea ice) and biochemical (chlorophyll-a concentration) characteristics in springtime in the Baltic Sea.
