Evolution of Backscattering Coefficients of Drifting Multi-Year Sea Ice during End of Melting and Onset of Freeze-up in the Western Beaufort Sea

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Backscattering coefficients of Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data of drifting multi-year sea ice in the western Beaufort Sea during the transition period between the end of melting and onset of freeze-up are analyzed, in terms of the ...

MOSAICKING VERY-HIGH-RESOLUTION HELICOPTER-BORNE IMAGES ACQUIRED OVER DRIFTING ARCTIC SEA ICE USING COTS SENSORS [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018
In order to observe and record conditions of the sea ice efficiently and specifically during in-situ investigation with the support of icebreaker research vessel (IBRV), the very-high-resolution (VHR) imaging systems have been used in recent past.

The Mittimatalik Siku Asijjipallianinga (Sea Ice Climate Atlas): How Inuit Knowledge, Earth Observations, and Sea Ice Charts Can Fill IPCC Climate Knowledge Gaps

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2021
The IPCC special report on the ocean and cryosphere in a changing climate (SROCC) highlights with high confidence that declining Arctic sea ice extents and increased ship-based transportation are impacting the livelihoods of Arctic Indigenous peoples ...

Wave–sea-ice interactions in a brittle rheological framework [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2021
As sea ice extent decreases in the Arctic, surface ocean waves have more time and space to develop and grow, exposing the marginal ice zone (MIZ) to more frequent and more energetic wave events.

Fractal Analysis and Texture Classification of High-Frequency Multiplicative Noise in SAR Sea-Ice Images Based on a Transform- Domain Image Decomposition Method

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Texture in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is a combination of the intrinsic texture of scene backscattering and the texture due to noncoherent high-frequency multiplicative noise (HMN) interactions that reflect erroneous information and lead to ...

The impact of Arctic sea ice loss on mid-Holocene climate. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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 ...

Tracer Measurements in Growing Sea Ice Support Convective Gravity Drainage Parameterizations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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.

A New Remotely Operated Sensor Platform for Interdisciplinary Observations under Sea Ice

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Observation of the climate and ecosystem of ice covered polar seas is a timely task for the scientific community. The goal is to assess the drastic and imminent changes of the polar sea ice cover induced by climate change. Retreating and thinning sea ice

Effects of Wave-Induced Sea Ice Break-Up and Mixing in a High-Resolution Coupled Ice-Ocean Model

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Arctic sea ice plays a vital role in modulating the global climate. In the most recent decades, the rapid decline of the Arctic summer sea ice cover has exposed increasing areas of ice-free ocean, with sufficient fetch for waves to develop.

The impact of a seasonally ice free Arctic Ocean on the temperature, precipitation and surface mass balance of Svalbard [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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.
