Snow is the most reflective, and also the most insulative, natural material on Earth.
Consequently, it is an integral part of the sea-ice and climate systems. However, the spatial …

Observations from the last decade suggest an important role of sea ice in the global
biogeochemical cycles, promoted by (i) active biological and chemical processes within the …

Marine ecosystems at high latitudes are characterized by extreme seasonal changes in light
conditions, as well as a limited period of high primary production during spring and early …

A Lagrangian snow‐evolution model (SnowModel‐LG) was used to produce daily, pan‐
Arctic, snow‐on‐sea‐ice, snow property distributions on a 25× 25‐km grid, from 1 August …

Abstract The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Operation IceBridge
(OIB) was a 13‐year (2009–2021) airborne mission to survey land and sea ice across the …

There is an ongoing shift in the Arctic sea ice cover from multiyear ice to seasonal ice. Here
we examine the impact of this shift on sea ice albedo. Our analysis of observations from four …

Melt ponds on sea ice play an important role in the Arctic climate system. Their presence
alters the partitioning of solar radiation: decreasing reflection, increasing absorption and …

SEA ICE The latest edition of the gold standard in sea ice references In the newly revised
second edition of Sea Ice: Physics and Remote Sensing, a team of distinguished …

Ice in the environment plays a central role in both global-scale processes on Earth and
many human activities. Issues related to its description, including the modelling of natural ice …

Survey data from the northern Bering and Chukchi sea continental shelves in August–
September 2012 and 2013 reveal inter-annual differences in the spatial structure of water …
