A 120 000-year record of sea ice in the North Atlantic? [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2019 Although it has been demonstrated that the speed and magnitude of the recent Arctic sea ice decline is unprecedented for the past 1450 years, few records are available to provide a paleoclimate context for Arctic sea ice extent. Bromine enrichment in ice

Winter sea ice export from the Laptev Sea preconditions the local summer sea ice cover and fast ice decay [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Ice retreat in the eastern Eurasian Arctic is a consequence of atmospheric and oceanic processes and regional feedback mechanisms acting on the ice cover, both in winter and summer.

Antarctic Sea Ice—A Polar Opposite? [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 As the world's ice diminishes in the face of climate change—from the dramatic decline in Arctic sea ice, to thinning at the margins of both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, to retreating mountain glaciers the world over—Antarctic sea ice presents ...

Polar Sea Ice Monitoring Using HY-2A Scatterometer Measurements
Remote Sensing, 2016 A sea ice detection algorithm based on Fisher’s linear discriminant analysis is developed to segment sea ice and open water for the Ku-band scatterometer onboard the China’s Hai Yang 2A Satellite (HY-2A/SCAT).

Record low 2022 Antarctic sea ice led to catastrophic breeding failure of emperor penguins
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 The spring season of 2022 saw record low sea ice extent in Antarctica that persisted throughout the year. At the beginning of December, the Antarctic sea ice extent was tracking with the all-time low set in 2021. The greatest regional negative anomaly of

Ice extent trends in the Barents and Kara Seas during recent climate change
Российская АрктикаCertain areas of the Arctic region, primarily the Barents and Kara Seas, have high resource potential. This is the place where hydrocarbon deposits are explored and developed, and where the main transport corridor of the Northern Sea Route begins.

Interannual and seasonal variability of Arctic sea ice extent according to satellite observations
Российская Арктика, 2019 The interannual and seasonal changes of Arctic sea ice extent according to satellite observations from 1978–2018 are analyzed. Steady reduction in the sea ice cover over the research period is reported.

The spatiotemporal patterns of sea ice in the Bohai Sea during the winter seasons of 2000–2016
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2019 In this study, sea ice thickness (SIT) and sea ice extent (SIE) in the Bohai Sea from 2000 to 2016 were investigated. A surface heat balance equation was applied to calculate SIT using ice surface temperatures estimated from the Moderate Resolution ...

Record Early Sea Ice Loss in Southeastern Hudson Bay in Spring 2024
Geophysical Research LettersHudson Bay seasonal sea‐ice cover plays an important role in marine ecosystems and human activities. Spring 2024 witnessed a uniquely early southeastern opening, leading to basin‐wide sea ice extent falling 5σ below the 1979–2023 average.

Changes of the Arctic marginal ice zone during the satellite era [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Many studies have shown a decrease in Arctic sea ice extent. It does not logically follow, however, that the extent of the marginal ice zone (MIZ), here defined as the area of the ocean with ice concentrations from 15 % to 80 %, is also ...
