Satellite Observation of Sea Ice Concentration Based on Chinese HY-1C/D Data
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingThe increasingly significant global warming has severely affected the Arctic region. The melting speed of sea ice is accelerating, and its spatial coverage is gradually shrinking, causing a series of ecological problems that cannot be ignored. Therefore,

A Bayesian Model for 20th Century Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Reconstruction
Earth and Space ScienceAntarctic sea ice, a key component in the complex Antarctic climate system, is an important driver and indicator of the global climate. In the relatively short satellite‐observed period from 1979 to 2022 the sea ice extent has continuously increased ...

Arctic sea ice decline contributes to thinning lake ice trend in northern Alaska
Environmental Research Letters, 2016 Field measurements, satellite observations, and models document a thinning trend in seasonal Arctic lake ice growth, causing a shift from bedfast to floating ice conditions. September sea ice concentrations in the Arctic Ocean since 1991 correlate well (

Large-scale drivers of the exceptionally low winter Antarctic sea ice extent in 2023
Frontiers in Earth ScienceThe year 2023 marked a turning point for the Antarctic region as the Southern Hemisphere experienced a significant reduction in its sea ice extent, with a record-breaking sea ice minimum in July 2023 of approximately 2.4 million square kilometers below ...

An ocean-sea ice model study of the unprecedented Antarctic sea ice minimum in 2016
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 Overall Antarctic sea ice extent in the 2016 spring attained a record minimum for the satellite period (1979–2016), presenting an abrupt departure from the record maxima in previous years and the slight upward trend since 1979.
