Arctic sea ice thickness, volume, and multiyear ice coverage: losses and coupled variability (1958–2018)

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
Large-scale changes in Arctic sea ice thickness, volume and multiyear sea ice (MYI) coverage with available measurements from submarine sonars, satellite altimeters (ICESat and CryoSat-2), and satellite scatterometers are summarized. The submarine record

Unprecedented Arctic sea ice thickness loss and multiyear-ice volume export through Fram Strait during 2010–2011

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
The satellite-observed sea ice thickness (SIT) records from 2003 to 2020 identify an extreme SIT loss during 2010–2011. Ice thickness budget analysis demonstrates that the thickness loss was associated with an extraordinarily large multiyear ice (MYI ...

Sea Ice Thickness in the Western Ross Sea

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Using 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 ...

Three years of sea ice freeboard, snow depth, and ice thickness of the Weddell Sea from Operation IceBridge and CryoSat-2

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2018
. We examine the variability of sea ice freeboard, snow depth, and ice thickness in three years (2011, 2014, and 2016) of repeat surveys of an IceBridge (OIB) transect across the Weddell Sea.

Sea-ice evaluation of NEMO-Nordic 1.0: a NEMO–LIM3.6-based ocean–sea-ice model setup for the North Sea and Baltic Sea [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2017
The Baltic Sea is a seasonally ice-covered marginal sea in northern Europe with intense wintertime ship traffic and a sensitive ecosystem. Understanding and modeling the evolution of the sea-ice pack is important for climate effect studies and ...

Contributions of Ice Thickness to the Atmospheric Response From Projected Arctic Sea Ice Loss

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
A large ensemble of simulations from a high‐top atmospheric general circulation model are conducted to compare the atmospheric responses from loss of Arctic sea ice thickness and sea ice concentration.

Evaluation of sea-ice thickness from four reanalyses in the Antarctic Weddell Sea

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2020
. Ocean–sea-ice coupled models constrained by various observations provide different ice thickness estimates in the Antarctic. We evaluate contemporary monthly ice thickness from four reanalyses in the Weddell Sea: the German contribution of the project ...

The sub-ice platelet layer and its influence on freeboard to thickness conversion of Antarctic sea ice [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2014
This is an investigation to quantify the influence of the sub-ice platelet layer on satellite measurements of total freeboard and their conversion to thickness of Antarctic sea ice. The sub-ice platelet layer forms as a result of the seaward advection of

A New Perspective on Four Decades of Changes in Arctic Sea Ice from Satellite Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Arctic sea ice characteristics have been changing rapidly and significantly in the last few decades. Using a long-term time series of sea ice products from satellite observations—the extended AVHRR Polar Pathfinder (APP-x)—trends in sea ice concentration,

Snow Property Controls on Modeled Ku-Band Altimeter Estimates of First-Year Sea Ice Thickness: Case Studies From the Canadian and Norwegian Arctic

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020
Uncertainty in snow properties impacts the accuracy of Arctic sea ice thickness estimates from radar altimetry. On first-year sea ice (FYI), spatiotemporal variations in snow properties can cause the Ku-band main radar scattering horizon to appear above ...
