Arctic sea ice thickness loss determined using subsurface, aircraft, and satellite observations

R Lindsay, A Schweiger - The Cryosphere, 2015 - tc.copernicus.org
Sea ice thickness is a fundamental climate state variable that provides an integrated
measure of changes in the high-latitude energy balance. However, observations of mean ice …

Thinning and volume loss of the Arctic Ocean sea ice cover: 2003–2008
