Regime shift in Arctic Ocean sea ice thickness. [PDF]
Nature, 2023 Manifestations of climate change are often shown as gradual changes in physical or biogeochemical properties^ 1 . Components of the climate system, however, can show stepwise shifts from one regime to another, as a nonlinear response of the system to a ...

New insight from CryoSat-2 sea ice thickness for sea ice modelling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Estimates of Arctic sea ice thickness have been available from the CryoSat-2 (CS2) radar altimetry mission during ice growth seasons since 2010. We derive the sub-grid-scale ice thickness distribution (ITD) with respect to five ice thickness categories ...

Interannual variability in Transpolar Drift summer sea ice thickness and potential impact of Atlantification [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Changes in Arctic sea ice thickness are the result of complex interactions of the dynamic and variable ice cover with atmosphere and ocean. Most of the sea ice exiting the Arctic Ocean does so through Fram Strait, which is why long-term measurements of ...

Estimating Arctic Sea Ice Thickness with CryoSat-2 Altimetry Data Using the Least Squares Adjustment Method [PDF]
Sensors, 2020 Satellite altimeters can be used to derive long-term and large-scale sea ice thickness changes. Sea ice thickness retrieval is based on measurements of freeboard, and the conversion of freeboard to thickness requires knowledge of the snow depth and snow,

Multidecadal Arctic sea ice thickness and volume derived from ice age [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Sea ice is a key component of the Arctic climate system, and has impacts on global climate. Ice concentration, thickness, and volume are among the most important Arctic sea ice parameters.

Improving Met Office seasonal predictions of Arctic sea ice using assimilation of CryoSat-2 thickness [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Interest in seasonal predictions of Arctic sea ice has been increasing in recent years owing, primarily, to the sharp reduction in Arctic sea-ice cover observed over the last few decades, a decline that is projected to continue.

A weekly Arctic sea-ice thickness data record from merged CryoSat-2 and SMOS satellite data [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Sea-ice thickness on a global scale is derived from different satellite sensors using independent retrieval methods. Due to the sensor and orbit characteristics, such satellite retrievals differ in spatial and temporal resolution as well as in the ...
