Operations in ice-covered waters require good engineering to ensure the safety of
personnel and the environment. In polar regions, the presence of sea ice is the main factor …

Rather than being solid throughout, sea ice contains liquid brine inclusions, solid salts,
microalgae, trace elements, gases, and other impurities which all exist in the interstices of a …

As part of ice albedo feedback studies during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean
(SHEBA) field experiment, we measured spectral and wavelength‐integrated albedo on …

Arctic sea ice has declined and become thinner and younger (more seasonal) during the
last decade. One consequence of this is that the surface energy budget of the Arctic Ocean …

Abstract The Community Climate System Model, version 4 has revisions across all
components. For sea ice, the most notable improvements are the incorporation of a new …

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 …

A series of observations were made on melting first year, landfast Arctic sea ice near Barrow,
Alaska to explore the seasonal evolution of melt pond coverage. Observations of pond …

Preface the basins of the Arctic Ocean and to present these data in common or parallel
formats. A coherent picture of sediment and organic carbon inputs from the ocean's margins …

The substantial reduction in summer Arctic sea ice extent observed in 2007 and 2008 and its
potential ecological and geopolitical impacts generated a lot of attention by the media and …

As part of a large interdisciplinary study of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean
(SHEBA), we installed more than 135 ice thickness gauges to determine the sea ice mass …
