Methods for biogeochemical studies of sea ice: the state of the art, caveats, and recommendations.
(2015)
Over the past two decades, with recognition that the ocean’s sea-ice cover is neither insensitive to climate change
nor a barrier to light and matter, research in sea-ice biogeochemistry has accelerated significantly, ...
Handbook for community-based sea ice monitoring.
(National Snow and Ice Data Center, Boulder, Colorado, 2008)
This handbook was originally compiled as a reference for local observers carrying out sea ice measurements as part of a community-based sea ice observation network for the Siku-Inuit-Hila project, an NSF-funded project ...
Cornice dynamics and meteorological control at Gruvefjellet, Central Svalbard.
(2012)
Cornice fall avalanches endanger life and infrastructure in Nybyen, a part of Svalbard’s main settlement Longyearbyen, located at 78◦ N in the High Arctic. Thus, cornice dynamics – accretion, cracking and eventual failure ...
Best Practices in Crafting the Calibrated, Enhanced-Resolution Passive-Microwave EASE-Grid 2.0 Brightness Temperature Earth System Data Record.
(2018)
Since the late 1970s, satellite passive-microwave brightness temperatures have been
a mainstay in remote sensing of the cryosphere. Polar snow and ice-covered ocean and land
surfaces are especially sensitive to climate ...
Electronic Chart Systems Ice Objects Catalogue Version 5.2, 2014 edition
(WMO/JCOMM Expert Team on Sea Ice, Geneva, Switzerland, 2014)
Electronic Navigation Charts (ENC) and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) are becoming widely available on ships navigating in icy waters and it is necessary to provide ice data in a form that can be ...
Sea-Ice Information Services in the World. Edition 2017.
(World Meteorological Organization, Geneva, Switzerland, 2017)
The 2017 update of the document reflects new types of sea ice and icebergs information, forms of collaboration and delivery of the products through August 2017. Areas that have seen substantial progress over the last seven ...
The Best of Both Worlds: Connecting Remote Sensing and Arctic Communities for Safe Sea Ice Travel.
(2020)
Northern communities are increasingly interested in technology that provides information about the sea ice environment for travel purposes. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing is widely used to observe sea ice ...
Polar Region Bathymetry: Critical Knowledge for the Prediction of Global Sea Level Rise.
(2022)
The ocean and the marine parts of the cryosphere interact directly with, and are
affected by, the seafloor and its primary properties of depth (bathymetry) and shape
(morphology) in many ways. Bottom currents are largely ...
A Study of the Technology Used to Distinguish Sea Ice and Seawater on the Haiyang-2A/B (HY-2A/B) Altimeter Data.
(2019)
When the Haiyang-2B (HY-2B) was launched into space to form a star network with the Haiyang-2A (HY-2A), it provided new data sources for the sea ice research of the Earth's polar regions. The ability of altimeter echoes ...
Retrieval of Sea Surface Wind Speed from Spaceborne SAR over the Arctic Marginal Ice Zone with a Neural Network.
(2020)
In this paper, we presented a method for retrieving sea surface wind speed (SSWS) from Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) horizontal-horizontal (HH) polarization data in extra-wide (EW) swath mode, which have been ...
