From the onset of melt in early June, corresponding declines in Ice, Cloud, and Land
Elevation Satellite‐2 (ICESat‐2) freeboard and surface albedo can be seen over the entire …

Abstract Using ICESat‐2 and CryoSat‐2 freeboards, we examine the variability of monthly
Arctic sea ice snow depth, thickness and volume between October 2018 and April 2021. For …

We present a first examination of Arctic sea ice snow depth estimates from differencing
satellite lidar (ICESat‐2) and radar (CryoSat‐2) freeboards. These estimates cover the …

We investigate sea ice conditions during the 2020 melt season, when warm air temperature
anomalies in spring led to early melt onset, an extended melt season, and the second …

The ICESat operational period 2003–2008 coincided with a dramatic decline in Arctic sea
ice—linked to prolonged melt season duration and enhanced melt pond coverage. Although …

In recent years, sea‐ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean changed substantially toward a
younger and thinner sea‐ice cover. To capture the scope of these changes and identify the …

Rapid decline in Arctic sea ice cover in the 21st century may have wide-reaching effects on
the Arctic climate system, including the Greenland ice sheet mass balance. Here, we …

Abstract Changes in Arctic sea ice volume affect regional heat and freshwater budgets and
patterns of atmospheric circulation at lower latitudes. Despite a well-documented decline in …

Starting with retrieved freeboards from four ICESat campaigns (ON05, October/November
2005; FM06, February/March 2006; ON06, October/November 2006; and MA07, March/April …

Abstract Spectral Radiation Buoys and ice mass balance buoys were deployed on first‐year
ice near the North Pole in April 2012 and 2013, collecting in‐band (350–800 nm) solar …
