Development of a sea-ice tank system for measuring microwave properties of sea ice
Journal of GlaciologyAn outdoor sea-ice tank system for measuring the microwave properties of sea ice has been developed. With the natural cooling and the help of a cooling unit in the movable roof attached to the tank, the system can grow sea ice to about 50 cm thickness ...

Empirical sea ice thickness retrieval during the freeze-up period from SMOS high incident angle observations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Sea ice thickness information is important for sea ice modelling and ship operations. Here a method to detect the thickness of sea ice up to 50 cm during the freeze-up season based on high incidence angle observations of the Soil Moisture and ...

Improving the WRF model's (version 3.6.1) simulation over sea ice surface through coupling with a complex thermodynamic sea ice model (HIGHTSI) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2016 Sea ice plays an important role in the air–ice–ocean interaction, but it is often represented simply in many regional atmospheric models. The Noah sea ice scheme, which is the only option in the current Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model ...

Recent summer sea ice thickness surveys in Fram Strait and associated ice volume fluxes [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Fram Strait is the main gateway for sea ice export out of the Arctic Ocean, and therefore observations there give insight into the composition and properties of Arctic sea ice in general and how it varies over time.

Better constraints on the sea-ice state using global sea-ice data assimilation [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2012 Short-term and decadal sea-ice prediction systems need a realistic initial state, generally obtained using ice–ocean model simulations with data assimilation. However, only sea-ice concentration and velocity data are currently assimilated.

Evaluation of the ArcIOPS sea ice forecasts during 2021–2023
Frontiers in Earth ScienceThe operational sea ice forecasts from the Arctic Ice Ocean Prediction System (ArcIOPS) during 2021–2023 are validated against satellite-retrieved sea ice concentration and drift data, in situ and reanalyzed sea ice thickness data.

Impacts of Sea Ice Thickness Initialization on Seasonal Arctic Sea Ice Predictions
Journal of Climate, 2017 Abstract A promising means for increasing skill of seasonal predictions of Arctic sea ice is improving sea ice thickness (SIT) initial conditions; however, sparse SIT observations limit this potential. Using the Canadian Climate Model, version 3 (CanCM3), three statistical models designed to estimate SIT fields for initialization in a ...
