Leads and pressure ridges are dominant features of the Arctic sea ice cover. Not only do
they affect heat loss and surface drag, but they also provide insight into the underlying …

Fracturing and refreezing of sea ice in the Kara sea are investigated using complex network
analysis. By going to the dual network, where the fractures are nodes and their intersections …

Leads are relatively linear features in the sea ice cover, which are composed of open water
or new, thin ice. Because of their composition, leads impact the ocean/air heat exchange …

Sea ice deforms constantly under the forcing of winds and ocean currents. Eventually the ice
cover of the Arctic Ocean breaks into a multitude of ice floes. Strips of open ocean, so-called …
