SEA ICE The latest edition of the gold standard in sea ice references In the newly revised
second edition of Sea Ice: Physics and Remote Sensing, a team of distinguished …

Melt ponds on sea ice strongly reduce the surface albedo and accelerate the decay of Arctic
sea ice. Due to different spectral properties of snow, ice, and water, the fractional coverage …

Melt ponds forming on Arctic sea ice in summer significantly reduce the surface albedo and
impact the heat and mass balance of the sea ice. Therefore, their areal coverage, which can …

The seasonal evolution of melt ponds has been well documented on multiyear and landfast
first‐year sea ice, but is critically lacking on drifting, first‐year sea ice, which is becoming …

The formation of meltponds on the surface of sea ice during summer is one of the main
factors affecting variability in surface albedo over the ice cover. However, observations of the …

The onset of melt ponds on landfast first-year and multiyear sea ice is detected using dual co-
polarized Ku-band spaceborne scatterometer data. Twenty-nine locations in the Canadian …

Melt ponds contribute to the ice‐albedo feedback as they reduce the surface albedo of sea
ice, and hence accelerate the decay of Arctic sea ice. Here, we analyze the melt pond …

Differentiating between first-year ice (FYI) and multi-year ice (MYI) in C-band synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) imagery during spring–summer melt, when wet snow and melt ponds …

The presence of melt ponds on the Arctic sea ice strongly affects the energy balance of the
Arctic Ocean in summer. It affects albedo as well as transmittance through the sea ice, which …

The location of snow dunes over the course of the ice‐growth season 2007/08 was mapped
on level landfast first‐year sea ice near Barrow, Alaska. Landfast ice formed in mid …
