Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are being increasingly investigated as a means to extract sea ice concentration from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in an automated manner. This is often done using ice charts as training data.

Assimilation of sea surface temperature, sea ice concentration and sea ice drift in a model of the Southern Ocean [PDF]
Current ocean models have relatively large errors and biases in the Southern Ocean. The aim of this study is to provide a reanalysis from 1985 to 2006 assimilating sea surface temperature, sea ice concentration and sea ice drift. In the following it is also shown how surface winds in the Southern Ocean can be improved using sea ice drift estimated from

Seasonal Arctic sea ice forecasting with probabilistic deep learning [PDF]
Anthropogenic warming has led to an unprecedented year-round reduction in Arctic sea ice extent. This has far-reaching consequences for indigenous and local communities, polar ecosystems, and global climate, motivating the need for accurate seasonal sea ...

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

Sensitivity of Arctic warming to sea ice concentration [PDF]
AbstractWe examine the sensitivity of Arctic amplification (AA) to background sea ice concentration (SIC) under greenhouse warming by analyzing the data sets of the historical and Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 runs of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5.

Drivers of Interannual Sea Ice Concentration Variability in the Atlantic Water Inflow Region North of Svalbard [PDF]
Sea ice concentration along the continental margin of the Arctic Ocean is influenced by a multitude of factors, including local freezing and melting due to atmospheric forcing, lateral advection of sea ice by winds and ocean currents, and melting from ...

Improving numerical accuracy for the viscous-plastic formulation of sea ice [PDF]
Accurate modeling of sea ice dynamics is critical for predicting environmental variables and is important in applications such as navigating ice breaker ships. Research for both modeling and simulating sea ice dynamics is ongoing, with the most widely accepted model based on the viscous-plastic (VP) formulation introduced by Hibler in 1979.

Sea ice concentration impacts dissolved organic gases in the Canadian Arctic [PDF]
Abstract. The marginal sea ice zone has been identified as a source of different climate active gases to the atmosphere due to its unique biogeochemistry. However, it remains highly undersampled and the impact of changes in sea ice concentration on the distributions of these gases is poorly understood.

MT-IceNet -- A Spatial and Multi-Temporal Deep Learning Model for Arctic Sea Ice Forecasting [PDF]
Arctic amplification has altered the climate patterns both regionally and globally, resulting in more frequent and more intense extreme weather events in the past few decades. The essential part of Arctic amplification is the unprecedented sea ice loss as demonstrated by satellite observations. Accurately forecasting Arctic sea ice from sub-seasonal to
