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.read more

An Ultra-Wideband, Microwave Radar for Measuring Snow Thickness on Sea Ice and Mapping Near-Surface Internal Layers in Polar Firn
B. Panzer,D. Gomez-Garcia,Carl Leuschen,John Paden,Fernando Rodriguez-Morales,Azsa Patel,Thorsten Markus,Benjamin Holt,Prasad Gogineni +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an ultra-wideband, microwave radar capable of operation on long-endurance aircraft to characterize the thickness of snow over sea ice was developed. But the system was not used to estimate sea-ice thickness using satellite altimeters.

A model for Northern Hemisphere continental ice sheet variation
R. G. Johnson,B.T. McClure +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the transition from an interglacial state like today's to a glacial state is initiated when a summer insolation deficit causes a southerly extension of the North Atlantic-Arctic pack ice to 60°N latitude.

The formation of a haline shelf front in wintertime in an ice-covered arctic sea
TL;DR: In this article, a haline front forms on the outer shelf separating cold, saline shelf waters from slightly warmer, less saline slope waters, and the characteristics of this front are controlled by the input of negative buoyancy from ice growth over the shelf and by turbulent entrainment and mixing driven by under-ice convection.

Effects of the snow cover on Antarctic sea ice and potential modulation of its response to climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the role of snow in modulating the response of Antarctic sea ice to climate change is discussed, for the Weddell Sea with a large-scale sea-ice model accounting for snow-ice formation.

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.
