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, ...
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 ...
On the Benefit of Current and Future ALPS Data for Improving Arctic Coupled Ocean-Sea Ice State Estimation.
(2017)
Autonomous and Lagrangian platforms and sensors (ALPS) have revolutionized the way the subsurface ocean is observed. The synergy between ALPS-based observations and coupled ocean-sea ice state and parameter estimation as ...
Mapping Arctic Bottomfast Sea Ice Using SAR Interferometry.
(2018)
Bottomfast sea ice is an integral part of many near-coastal Arctic ecosystems with implications for subsea permafrost, coastal stability and morphology. Bottomfast sea ice is also of great relevance to over-ice travel by ...
Sea ice assimilation into a coupled ocean-sea ice model using its adjoint.
(2017)
Satellite sea ice concentrations (SICs), together with several ocean parameters, are assimilated into a regional Arctic coupled ocean-sea ice model covering the period of 2000-2008 using the adjoint method. There is ...
A comparison between gradient descent and stochastic approaches for parameter optimization of a sea ice model.
(2013)
Two types of optimization methods were applied to a parameter optimization problem in a coupled ocean-sea ice model of the Arctic, and applicability and efficiency of the respective methods were examined. One optimization ...
Lead Detection in Polar Oceans: A Comparison of Different Classification Methods for Cryosat-2 SAR Data.
(2018)
In polar regions, sea-ice hinders the precise observation of Sea Surface Heights (SSH) by satellite altimetry. In order to derive reliable heights for the openings within the ice, two steps have to be fulfilled: (1) the ...
