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.

Assimilating CryoSat-2 freeboard to improve Arctic sea ice thickness estimates [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 In this study, a new method to assimilate freeboard (FB) derived from satellite radar altimetry is presented with the goal of improving the initial state of sea ice thickness predictions in the Arctic.

Sea Ice Thickness in the Western Ross Sea [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 AbstractUsing airborne measurements, we provide a first direct glimpse of the sea ice thickness distribution in the western Ross Sea, Antarctica, where the distinguishing sea ice process is the regular occurrence of the Ross Sea, McMurdo Sound, and Terra Nova Bay polynyas.

A long-term proxy for sea ice thickness in the Canadian Arctic: 1996–2020 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 This study presents a long-term winter sea ice thickness proxy product for the Canadian Arctic based on a random forest regression model – applied to ice charts and scatterometer data, trained on CryoSat-2 observations, and applying an ice type–sea ice ...

Retrieval and parameterisation of sea-ice bulk density from airborne multi-sensor measurements [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Knowledge of sea-ice thickness and volume depends on freeboard observations from satellite altimeters and in turn on information of snow mass and sea-ice density required for the freeboard-to-thickness conversion.

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 ...

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.

Feasibility of retrieving Arctic sea ice thickness from the Chinese HY-2B Ku-band radar altimeter [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 With the continuous development of the China ocean dynamic environment satellite series (Haiyang-2, HY-2), it is urgent to explore the potential application of HY-2B in Arctic sea ice thickness retrievals.
