Impact of Variable Atmospheric and Oceanic Form Drag on Simulations of Arctic Sea Ice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Over Arctic sea ice, pressure ridges and floe and melt pond edges all introduce discrete obstructions to the flow of air or water past the ice and are a source of form drag.

Ice sheet extent and early deglacial history of the southwestern sector of the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The offshore and coastal geomorphology of southwest Greenland records evidence for the advance and decay of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Effect of compressive loading on first-year sea-ice permeability

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2018
The permeability of sea ice can strongly affect the dissipation of wave energy into the ice pack. Sea-ice permeability is known to be impacted by the brine volume fraction and the blockage of flow pathways by the freezing of infiltrating lower salinity ...

Estimates of ikaite export from sea ice to the underlying seawater in a sea ice–seawater mesocosm [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2016
The precipitation of ikaite and its fate within sea ice is still poorly understood. We quantify temporal inorganic carbon dynamics in sea ice from initial formation to its melt in a sea ice–seawater mesocosm pool from 11 to 29 January 2013.

Airborne radar evidence for tributary flow switching in Institute Ice Stream, West Antarctica: implications for ice sheet configuration and dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite the importance of ice streaming to the evaluation of West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) stability we know little about mid- to long-term dynamic changes within the Institute Ice Stream (IIS) catchment.

The effect of landfast sea ice buttressing on ice dynamic speedup in the Larsen B embayment, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
We observe the evacuation of 11-year-old landfast sea ice in the Larsen B embayment on the East Antarctic Peninsula in January 2022, which was in part triggered by warm atmospheric conditions and strong offshore winds.

Benefits and challenges of dynamic sea-ice for weather forecasts [PDF]

open access: yesWeather and Climate Dynamics, 2022
Abstract. The drive to develop environmental prediction systems that are seamless across both weather and climate timescales has culminated in the development and use of Earth system models, which include a coupled representation of the atmosphere, land, ocean and sea ice, for medium-range weather forecasts. One region where such a coupled Earth system

The next generation sea-ice model neXtSIM, version 2 [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development
Sea ice is a key component of the climate system, and sea-ice models are required to realistically simulate climate, ocean, or atmosphere in general circulation models at high latitudes. In this paper, we present the latest version of the next-generation

Sea-ice dynamics in the Weddell Sea in winter [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 1991
Observations of ice drift received from an array of ARGOS buoys drifting in the Weddell Sea in winter 1986 are described. Wind and current data are also available, permitting derivation of the complete momentum budget including the internal ice stress computed as residuum.

The gravitationally consistent sea-level fingerprint of future terrestrial ice loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We solve the sea-level equation to investigate the pattern of the gravitationally self-consistent sea-level variations (fingerprints) corresponding to modeled scenarios of future terrestrial ice melt.
