Journal ArticleDOI
Thin and thinner: Sea ice mass balance measurements during SHEBA
Donald K. Perovich,Thomas C. Grenfell,Jacqueline A. Richter-Menge,Bonnie Light,Walter B. Tucker,Hajo Eicken +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors installed more than 135 ice thickness gauges to determine the sea ice mass balance and found that much of the multi-year ice cover was only 1 m thick, considerably thinner than expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerial observations of the evolution of ice surface conditions during summer
TL;DR: In the summer of 1998, a program of aerial photography was carried out at the main site of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) program at altitudes ranging from 1220 to 1830 m as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tucker,Taneil Uttal +22 more
TL;DR: The Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project as mentioned in this paper was not motivated by climate change, and it was not designed to detect global warming, nor was it designed to diagnose global warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for rapid thinning of sea ice in the western Arctic Ocean at the end of the 1980s
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of springtime ice drafts obtained from submarine profiles in a narrow band of the western Arctic Ocean from offshore Alaska to 89°N indicates that the mean ice draft decreased 15 m between the mid-1980s and early 1990s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical properties of summer sea ice in the Fram Strait
TL;DR: The physical properties of sea ice in the Fram Strait region of the Greenland Sea were examined during June and July 1984 in conjunction with the Marginal Ice Zone Experiment field program.
