Snow significantly impacts the seasonal growth of Arctic sea ice due to its thermally insulating properties. Various measurements and parameterizations of thermal properties …
Abstract Models struggle to accurately simulate observed sea ice thickness changes, which could be partially due to inadequate representation of thermodynamic processes. We …
Sea-ice ridges constitute a large fraction of the total Arctic sea-ice area (up to 40–50%); nevertheless, they are the least studied part of the Arctic ice pack. Here we investigate sea …
In the central Arctic, warm and moist air intrusions (WAMIs) are increasingly prevalent during winter and spring, significantly impacting the near-surface energy budget. This study …
Snow-layer segmentation and classification are essential diagnostic tasks for various cryospheric applications. The SnowMicroPen (SMP) measures the snowpack's penetration …
The EU and ESA plan to launch a dual-frequency Ku-and Ka-band polar-orbiting synthetic aperture radar (SAR) altimeter, CRISTAL (Copernicus Polar Ice and Snow Topography …
Satellite retrievals of Arctic sea ice thickness typically assume a constant sea ice bulk density (IBD), overlooking its seasonal variations influenced by ice internal texture and …
Life is transformed as scientists gradually break grounds from sea to space and across living and nonliving matter. Scientists often chronicle their work via an unremarkable and …
