   Abstract : The sea ice covers approximately 5% of the Earth’s surface at any given time and it plays an important role in the polar climate system affecting the heat, mass and momentum exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. The snow cover on top of the sea ice affects its insulating and reflective properties and thus key figures in the climate system feedback loop. READ MORE

3. 2. Variability of Sea Ice Extent Along The East Coast of Greenland

   Author : Isabella Grönfeldt; [2013]
   Keywords : Sea ice; East coast of Greenland; Fram Strait; Northern Hemisphere; Remote sensing; Ice charts; Pressure difference; Physics and Astronomy; Science General;

   Abstract : There has been a decrease in sea ice extent and volume in the polar regions during the past decades; this study focuses on the Northern Hemisphere. The variability of the sea ice extent along the east coast of Greenland is examined and the area is divided into three regional zones to be able to study variations in the correlation strength along the coast.
