Assimilating Summer Sea‐Ice Thickness Observations Improves Arctic Sea‐Ice Forecast
Geophysical Research LettersAbstractAccurate Arctic sea‐ice forecasting for the melt season is still a major challenge because of the lack of reliable pan‐Arctic summer sea‐ice thickness (SIT) data. A new summer CryoSat‐2 SIT observation data set based on an artificial intelligence algorithm may alleviate this situation.

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 ...

Passive sea ice thickness inference using cryophones
JASA Express LettersMechanical properties of Arctic sea ice can be inferred by observations of in-ice propagation of compressional, shear, and flexural waves. During the 1980s, impulsive signals were generated by a lead ball or sledgehammer dropped onto the sea ice, and the inference required observation of wave speeds.

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 ...
