Antarctic landfast sea ice (fast ice) is stationary sea ice that is attached to the coast,
grounded icebergs, ice shelves, or other protrusions on the continental shelf. Fast ice forms …

Basal melt of ice shelves is not only an important part of Antarctica's ice sheet mass budget,
but it is also the origin of platelet ice, one of the most distinctive types of sea ice. In many …

Antarctic sea ice that has been affected by supercooled Ice Shelf Water (ISW) has a unique
crystallographic structure and is called platelet ice. In this paper we synthesize platelet ice …

Variability in the volume of supercooled Ice Shelf Water outflow in McMurdo Sound is
reflected in the thickness and distribution of fast ice and the sub‐ice platelet layer beneath …

High sea ice production (SIP) generates high-salinity water, thus, influencing the global
thermohaline circulation. Estimation from passive microwave data and heat flux models …

A precise knowledge of landfast sea-ice (fast-ice) thickness is relevant to many different
disciplines. Sea Ice Monitoring Stations (SIMS) are used to measure time series of fast-ice …

A one‐dimensional, frazil‐laden plume model predicts the properties of Ice Shelf Water
(ISW) as it evolves beneath sea ice beyond the ice shelf edge. An idealized background …

In Antarctica, ice crystals emerge from ice shelf cavities and accumulate in unconsolidated
layers beneath nearby sea ice. Such sub‐ice platelet layers form a unique habitat and serve …

Landfast ice is an important component of the Antarctic sea ice regime. It affects the Antarctic
climate and ecological system. In this study, the first high-resolution, long time series of the …

Using in situ data from 2011 and 2013, we evaluate the ability of CryoSat-2 (CS-2) to
retrieve sea-ice freeboard over fast ice in McMurdo Sound. This provides the first systematic …
