Quantifying climate feedbacks in polar regions
The concept of feedback is key in assessing whether a perturbation to a system is amplified
or damped by mechanisms internal to the system. In polar regions, climate dynamics are …

Thin sea ice, thick snow, and widespread negative freeboard observed during N‐ICE2015 north of Svalbard
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 …

Reflective properties of melt ponds on sea ice
Melt ponds occupy a large part of the Arctic sea ice in summer and strongly affect the
radiative budget of the atmosphere–ice–ocean system. In this study, the melt pond …

Sunlight, clouds, sea ice, albedo, and the radiative budget: the umbrella versus the blanket
DK Perovich - The Cryosphere, 2018 - tc.copernicus.org
The surface radiation budget of the Arctic Ocean plays a central role in summer ice melt and
is governed by clouds and surface albedo. I calculated the net radiation flux for a range of …

Record low sea-ice concentration in the central Arctic during summer 2010
The Arctic sea-ice extent has shown a declining trend over the past 30 years. Ice coverage
reached historic minima in 2007 and again in 2012. This trend has recently been assessed …
