The influence of ocean flow on newly forming sea ice
[1] The heat and mass balance of the Arctic Ocean is very sensitive to the growth and decay of sea ice and the interaction between the heat and salt fields in the oceanic boundary layer. The hydraulic roughne ss of sea ice controls the detailed natur e of turbulent fluxe s in the boundar y layer and hence is an important ingredient in model parameterizations. We describe a novel mechanism for t...
متن کاملDiurnal thermal cycling effects on microwave signatures of thin sea ice
To investigate effects of diurnal thermal cycles on C-band polarimetric backscatter and millimeter-wave emission from sea ice, we carried out a winter experiment at the outdoor Geophysical Research Facility (GRF) in the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). The ice sheet grew from open sea water to a thickness of 10 cm in 2.5 days, during which we took polarimetric backscatt...
متن کاملSea ice extent from satellite microwave sensors
provide a convenient way to monitor the vast expanses of sea ice in the Polar Regions and this is done primarily using microwave techniques, which contrary to optical instruments, can operate at night and in all-weather conditions. The determination of sea ice extents from satellite platforms can be exploited as a marker for climate change, a navigation tool and a reference for coupled ocean-ic...
متن کاملOn the Validation of Satellite-Derived Sea Ice Surface Temperature
The surface temperature of sea ice controls the rate of ice growth and heat exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere. An algorithm for the satellite retrieval of ice surface temperature has recently been published, but due to the lack of validation data has not been extensively tested. In this paper, data from a recent Arctic field experiment is used in an attempt to validate that algorith...
