Snow on Antarctic sea ice plays a complex and highly variable role in air-sea-ice interaction processes and the Earth's climate system. Using data collected mostly during the past 10 years, this paper reviews the following topics:
During austral spring 2003, mesoscale sea ice drift and deformation off East … Antarctica were investigated using in situ data from a nine-buoy array. Upon deployment, the array comprised an area of about 4000 km2 with a mean ice concentration of 96%.
Preliminary results are presented from the first validation of geophysical data products (ice concentration, snow thickness on sea ice (hs) and ice temperature (TI ) from the NASA EOS Aqua AMSRE sensor, in East Antarctica (in September–October 2003).
We present the first detailed maps of fast ice around East Antarctica (75E–170E), using an image correlation technique applied to RADARSAT ScanSAR images from … November in 1997 and 1999. This method is based upon searching for, and distinguishing…
Although satellite passive-microwave remote sensing is the main source of global sea-ice … information, the data products have never been adequately validated for East Antarctic … conditions.
The Cryosphere and Climate Project (CliC) c~-ordinates climate activities related to all … parts of the earth's cryosphere. This includes sea ice, snow, ice shelves, ice bergs, lake ice, and permafrost. This talk will give a brief overview of the CliC project…
Thicknesses of sea ice and snow are key variables in ice-ocean-atmosphere interactions. Sea ice insulates the warm ocean from polar air and controls the heat exchange, which is … determined by its thickness. Also, sea ice thicknesses, together with sea ice extent…
