An improved sea ice detection algorithm using MODIS: application as a new European sea ice extent indicator [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2021
The continued loss of sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere due to global warming poses a threat to biota and human activities, evidencing the necessity of efficient sea ice monitoring tools.

Sea Ice Extent Retrieval Using CSCAT 12.5 km Sampling Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Polar sea ice extent exhibits a highly dynamic nature. This paper investigates the sea ice extent retrieval on a fine (6.25 km) grid based on the 12.5 km sampling data from the China France Ocean Satellite Scatterometer (CSCAT), which is generated by an ...

A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
From 1979 to 2016, total Antarctic sea ice extent experienced a positive trend with record winter maxima in 2012 and 2014. Record summer minima followed within the period 2017-2024, raising the possibility that the Antarctic sea ice system might be ...

Modulation of the Seasonal Cycle of Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Related to the Southern Annular Mode

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2017
Through analysis of remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice concentration data, we investigate the impact of winds related to the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) on sea ice extent around Antarctica.

The potential of sea ice leads as a predictor for seasonal Arctic sea ice extent prediction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
. The Arctic sea ice extent throughout the melt season is closely associated with initial sea ice state in winter and spring. Sea ice leads are important sites of energy fluxes in the Arctic Ocean, which may play an important role in the evolution of ...

Sensitivity of Arctic Sea Ice Extent to Sea Ice Concentration Threshold Choice and Its Implication to Ice Coverage Decadal Trends and Statistical Projections

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Arctic sea ice extent has been utilized to monitor sea ice changes since the late 1970s using remotely sensed sea ice data derived from passive microwave (PM) sensors. A 15% sea ice concentration threshold value has been used traditionally when computing

Sea salt as an ice core proxy for past sea ice extent: A process‐based model study [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research D: Atmospheres, 2014
AbstractSea ice is a reflection of, and a feedback on, the Earth's climate. We explore here, using a global atmospheric chemistry‐transport model, the use of sea salt in Antarctic ice cores to obtain continuous long‐term, regionally integrated records of past sea ice extent, synchronous with ice core records of climate.

Revisiting the potential of melt pond fraction as a predictor for the seasonal Arctic sea ice extent minimum

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2015
The rapid change in Arctic sea ice in recent decades has led to a rising demand for seasonal sea ice prediction. A recent modeling study that employed a prognostic melt pond model in a stand-alone sea ice model found that September Arctic sea ice extent ...
