Sea ice concentration inversion based on different Arctic sea ice types
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe ASI algorithm uses the same sea ice and seawater tie-points when inverting polar sea ice concentration (SIC), but this approach does not fully consider the differences between different polar sea regions and the impact of different sea ice ...

Satellite passive microwave sea-ice concentration data set inter-comparison for Arctic summer conditions [PDF]
, 2020 . We report on results of a systematic inter-comparison of 10 global sea-ice concentration (SIC) data products at 12.5 to 50.0 km grid resolution from satellite passive microwave (PMW) observations for the Arctic during summer.

New methodology to estimate Arctic sea ice concentration from SMOS combining brightness temperature differences in a maximum-likelihood estimator [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Monitoring sea ice concentration is required for operational and climate studies in the Arctic Sea. Technologies used so far for estimating sea ice concentration have some limitations, for instance the impact of the atmosphere, the physical ...

Consistent biases in Antarctic sea ice concentration simulated by climate models [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The simulation of Antarctic sea ice in global climate models often does not agree with observations. In this study, we examine the compactness of sea ice, as well as the regional distribution of sea ice concentration, in climate models from the latest

Brief communication: The challenge and benefit of using sea ice concentration satellite data products with uncertainty estimates in summer sea ice data assimilation [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Data assimilation experiments that aim at improving summer ice concentration and thickness forecasts in the Arctic are carried out. The data assimilation system used is based on the MIT general circulation model (MITgcm) and a local singular evolutive ...

A new tracking algorithm for sea ice age distribution estimation [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 A new algorithm for estimating sea ice age (SIA) distribution based on the Eulerian advection scheme is presented. The advection scheme accounts for the observed divergence or convergence and freezing or melting of sea ice and predicts consequent ...

Impurity Concentrations In Sea Ice [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1977 AbstractThree different types of saline ice were cut into sections a few millimeters thick along planes parallel to the surface. The resulting melts were analyzed quantitatively for chloride, sulphate, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Two of the specimens were artificial sea ice, grown in the laboratory at ambient temperatures of —30°C and ...
