Tracer Measurements in Growing Sea Ice Support Convective Gravity Drainage Parameterizations [PDF]
Gravity drainage is the dominant process redistributing solutes in growing sea ice. Modeling gravity drainage is therefore necessary to predict physical and biogeochemical variables in sea ice.

The impact of Arctic sea ice loss on mid-Holocene climate. [PDF]
Mid-Holocene climate was characterized by strong summer solar heating that decreased Arctic sea ice cover. Motivated by recent studies identifying Arctic sea ice loss as a key driver of future climate change, we separate the influences of Arctic sea ice ...

The impact of a seasonally ice free Arctic Ocean on the temperature, precipitation and surface mass balance of Svalbard [PDF]
The observed decline in summer sea ice extent since the 1970s is predicted to continue until the Arctic Ocean is seasonally ice free during the 21st Century. This will lead to a much perturbed Arctic climate with large changes in ocean surface energy flux.

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.

Factors controlling the bifurcation structure of sea ice retreat [PDF]
The contrast in surface albedo between sea ice and open ocean suggests the possibility of an unstable climate state flanked by two separate stable climate states. Previous studies using idealized single-column models and comprehensive climate models have

Predicting September sea ice: Ensemble skill of the SEARCH Sea Ice Outlook 2008-2013 [PDF]
Since 2008, the Study of Environmental Arctic Change Sea Ice Outlook has solicited predictions of September sea-ice extent from the Arctic research community.

In situ primary production in young Antarctic sea ice [PDF]
An in situ incubation technique used successfully to measure the photosynthetic carbon assimilation of internal algal assemblages within thick multiyear Arctic sea ice was developed and improved to measure the photosynthetic carbon assimilation within ...

Formation and propagation of great salinity anomalies [PDF]
North Atlantic/Arctic ocean and sea ice variability for the period 1948–2001 is studied using a global Ocean General Circulation Model coupled to a dynamic/thermodynamic sea ice model forced by daily NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data [Kalnay et al., 1996 ...

Classifying the Ice Seasons 1982-2016 Using the Weighted Ice Days Number as a New Winter Severity Characteristic [PDF]
Sea ice is a key climate factor and it restricts considerably the winter navigation in severe seasons on the Baltic Sea. So determining ice conditions severity and describing ice cover behavior at severe seasons are necessary.

The tipping times in an Arctic sea ice system under influence of extreme events
In light of the rapid recent retreat of Arctic sea ice, the extreme weather events triggering the variability in Arctic ice cover has drawn increasing attention.
