Respective impacts of Arctic sea ice decline and increasing greenhouse gases concentration on Sahel precipitation [PDF]
The impact of climate change on Sahel precipitation is uncertain and has to be widely documented. Recently, it has been shown that Arctic sea ice loss leverages the global warming effects worldwide, suggesting a potential impact of Arctic sea ice decline

Machine Learning-Based Image Processing for Ice Concentration during Chukchi and Beaufort Sea Trials
Growing interest in finding the optimal route through the arctic ocean, and sea ice concentration is also emerging as a factor to be considered. In this paper, an algorithm to calculate the sea ice concentration was developed based on the images taken ...

On sea ice concentration anomaly coherence in the southern Beaufort Sea [PDF]
The circumpolar flaw lead polynya system is a region of enhanced biological productivity and for significant portions of the annual cycle, dominates the exchange of energy and mass across the ocean‐sea ice‐atmosphere (OSA) interface. We investigate the nature of sea ice concentration (SIC) anomalies for spatial and temporal statistical persistence ...

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.

Assimilation of sea-ice concentration in a global climate model — physical and statistical aspects [PDF]
We investigate the initialisation of Northern Hemisphere sea ice in the global climate model ECHAM5/MPI-OM by assimilating sea-ice concentration data. The analysis updates for concentration are given by Newtonian relaxation, and we discuss different ways

A computational fluid dynamics model for the small-scale dynamics of wave, ice floe and interstitial grease ice interaction [PDF]
The marginal ice zone is a highly dynamical region where sea ice and ocean waves interact. Large-scale sea ice models only compute domain-averaged responses. As the majority of the marginal ice zone consists of mobile ice floes surrounded by grease ice, finer-scale modelling is needed to resolve variations of its mechanical properties, wave-induced ...

Hierarchical Information-sharing Convolutional Neural Network for the Prediction of Arctic Sea Ice Concentration and Velocity [PDF]
Forecasting sea ice concentration (SIC) and sea ice velocity (SIV) in the Arctic Ocean is of great significance as the Arctic environment has been changed by the recent warming climate. Given that physical sea ice models require high computational costs with complex parameterization, deep learning techniques can effectively replace the physical model ...

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 ...
