Impurity Concentrations In Sea Ice [PDF]
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 ...

Estimation of sea ice parameters from sea ice model with assimilated ice concentration and SST [PDF]
Abstract. A multi-category numerical sea ice model CICE along with data assimilation was used to derive sea ice parameters in the region of Baffin Bay and Labrador Sea. The assimilation of ice concentration was performed using the data derived from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E & AMSR2).

Spatial Correlation Length Scales of Sea-Ice Concentration Errors for High-Concentration Pack Ice [PDF]
The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites-Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility–European Space Agency-Climate Change Initiative (EUMETSAT-OSISAF–ESA-CCI) Level-4 sea-ice concentration (SIC) climate data records (CDRs), named SICCI-25km, SICCI-50km and OSI-450, provide gridded SIC error estimates in addition ...

Characterization of Moisture Sources for Austral Seas and Relationship with Sea Ice Concentration [PDF]
In this study, the moisture sources acting over each sea (Weddell, King Haakon VII, East Antarctic, Amundsen-Bellingshausen, and Ross-Amundsen) of the Southern Ocean during 1980–2015 are identified with the FLEXPART Lagrangian model and by using two approaches: backward and forward analyses.

Sea ice concentration algorithms using brightness temperatures ($T_{B}$) from satellite microwave radiometers are used to compute sea ice concentration ($c_{\text{ice}}$), sea ice extent, and generate sea ice climate data records. Therefore, it is important to minimize the sensitivity of $c_{\text{ice}}$ estimates to geophysical noise caused by snow ...

Consistent biases in Antarctic sea ice concentration simulated by climate models [PDF]
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

Optimising assimilation of sea ice concentration in an Earth system model with a multicategory sea ice model [PDF]
A data assimilation method capable of constraining the sea ice of an Earth system model in a dynamically consistent manner has the potential to enhance the accuracy of climate reconstructions and predictions. Finding such a method is challenging because the sea ice dynamics is highly non-linear, and sea ice variables are strongly non-Gaussian ...

Relationships between Arctic sea ice drift and strength modelled by NEMO-LIM3.6 [PDF]
Sea ice cover and thickness have substantially decreased in the Arctic Ocean since the beginning of the satellite era. As a result, sea ice strength has been reduced, allowing more deformation and fracturing and leading to increased sea ice drift ...

Southern Ocean sea ice concentration budgets of five ocean-sea ice reanalyses
AbstractIn this study, sea ice concentration (SIC) budgets were calculated for five ocean-sea ice reanalyses (CFSR, C-GLORSv7, GLORYS12v1, NEMO-EnKF and ORAS5), in the Southern Ocean and compared with observations. Benefiting from the assimilation of SIC, the reanalysis products display a realistic representation of sea ice extent as well as sea ice ...

Analysis of Sea Ice Timing and Navigability along the Arctic Northeast Passage from 2000 to 2019
The ablation of Arctic sea ice makes seasonal navigation possible in the Arctic region, which accounted for the apparent influence of sea ice concentration in the navigation of the Arctic route.
