In this paper, a one-dimensional thermodynamic model of sea ice is presented that includes the effects of snow cover, ice salinity, and internal heating due to penetration of solar radiation.
Abstract
A one-dimensional thermodynamic model of sea ice is presented that includes the effects of snow cover, ice salinity, and internal heating due to penetration of solar radiation. The incoming radiative and turbulent fluxes, oceanic heat flux, ice salinity, snow accumulation, and surface albedo are specified as functions of time. The model is applied to the central Arctic.

Temporal Variability of the Energy Balance of Thick Arctic Pack Ice

TL;DR: In this paper, the temporal variability of the six terms of the energy balance equation for a slab of ice 3 m thick is calculated based on 45 yr of surface meteorological observations from the drifting ice stations of the former Soviet Union.

Climate of Earth-like planets with high obliquity and eccentric orbits: Implications for habitability conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of seasonal variability for the climate of Earth-like planets as determined by the two parameters polar obliquity and orbital eccentricity using a general circulation model of intermediate complexity were explored.

Impact of melt ponds on Arctic sea ice simulations from 1990 to 2007

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a model suitable for forecasting the presence of melt ponds based on sea ice conditions and incorporated it into the Los Alamos CICE sea ice model, the sea ice component of several IPCC climate models.

A summary documentation of the AMIP models

TL;DR: The authors summarizes essential features of the global atmospheric models of 30 groups that are participating in the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP), an international effort to simulate the climate of the period 1979-1988 with common ocean boundary conditions and radiative forcings.

On the mass and heat budget of arctic sea ice

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that during the summer seasons 1957 and 1958, an amount of 19.2 and 41.4 g/cm2 was lost by surface ablation on elevated dry surface and in meltwater ponds, respectively.
