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

Relationship between ice decay and solar heating through open water in the Antarctic sea ice zone
Sohey Nihashi,Kay I. Ohshima +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the importance of heat entering the open water area from the atmosphere on sea ice decay in the Antarctic Ocean and show that the total heat input to the upper ocean in the active melting season is comparable to the total latent heat required for sea ice melting in the whole Antarctic sea ice zone.

Evaluation of surface radiative flux parameterizations for use in sea ice models
TL;DR: In this article, a variety of simple parameterizations of downwelling shortwave and longwave radiation fluxes at the Arctic surface are examined and compared to in situ measurements over an annual cycle.

Simulated interannual variability of the Greenland Sea deep water formation and its connection to surface forcing
TL;DR: In this paper, a fully prognostic Arctic ice-ocean model is used to study the interannual variability of deepwater formation in the Greenland Sea Gyre based on the simulations for the Arctic ice ocean system for the period 1955 and 1960 - 1985.

Modelling of superimposed ice formation during the spring snowmelt period in the Baltic Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, a one-dimensional thermodynamic snow/ice model was used to simulate the development of landfast sea ice and its snow cover in the Gulf of Bothnia, Baltic Sea, for a period of 4 weeks during the early melt season of 2004.

A temperature-dependent, structural-optical model of first-year sea ice
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural properties of first-year sea ice were compared to its inherent optical properties, and the structural-optical model was developed to calculate absorption coefficients, scattering coefficients, and phase functions for the ice from information about its physical properties.

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.
