Indirect measurements of the mass balance of summer Arctic sea ice with an electromagnetic induction technique
In the framework of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) study indirect, non-invasive ice mass-balance measurements were carried out at a drifting station in the northern Chukchi Sea between May and August of 1998. Ice thickness was derived from electromagnetic-induction (EM) measurements of apparent conductivity along 13 profiles (60 to 900 m long). As shown through sensitivity ...

متن کاملSAR Motion Products: Tools for Monitoring Changes in Sea Ice Mass Balance and Thickness Distribution
Sea ice is a discontinuous non-rigid material when viewed from microwave SAR imagery at scales of tens of kilometers. The discontinuous motion and behavior of sea ice has a definitive impact on its thickness distribution. Techniques for resolving sea ice discontinuities are demonstrated as contributions toward an integrated Arctic Observing Network.
متن کاملArctic Sea Ice Extent Prediction
Climate change is a pressing and present issue which has come to be at the forefront in the last few decades. As such, understanding climate change is of utmost importance. In addition to environmental impact, these changes will have social and economic ramifications as these changes will affect the way in which we utilize land and sea resources in the future. The minimum annual arctic sea ice ...
متن کاملArctic catastrophes in an idealized sea ice model
With recent observations of diminishing summer Arctic sea ice extent, the hypothesis of a “tipping point” in summer ice cover has been the focus of a number of studies. This view suggests that as summer Arctic sea ice cover retreats it will reach a critical point after which the ice–albedo effect will cause the summer ice cover to disappear altogether. We have examined the heuristic argument be...
