Over the sea ice field the observations include: sea ice freeboard height and hence sea ice thickness from radar altimetry; sea ice surface temperature and sea ice drift from respectively infrared radiometer and imaging spectrometer under cloud free conditions.
Not exact matches
During winter, each pump would be capable of building an additional layer of
sea ice up to 1 meter thick
over an area of about 100,000 square meters, or about the size of 15 soccer
fields, the researchers estimate in the January issue of Earth's Future.
Multi-panel paintings in oil and smaller paintings on canvas and aluminum formats explore the tundra fragmented into puddles and bits of
ice with small cascades flowing
over the rocks, reminders of accelerated seasonal changes melting
ice fields and
sea ice.
Sentinel - 1A / B operate a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with advanced observation capabilities in all weather conditions
over the ocean (wind, waves, and surface current) and
sea ice field (
sea ice deformation, lead fraction and
sea ice drift).
Actually
Fielding's use of that graph is quite informative of how denialist arguments are framed — the selected bit of a selected graph (and don't mention the fastest warming region on the planet being left out of that data set), or the complete passing
over of short term variability vs longer term trends, or the other measures and indicators of climate change from ocean heat content and
sea levels to changes in
ice sheets and minimum
sea ice levels, or the passing
over of issues like lag time between emissions and effects on temperatures... etc..
Lukovich et al. (Centre for Earth Observation Science, U. of Manitoba); 4.4 to 4.5; Heuristic - Dynamics The absence of a strong and persistent
sea level pressure high
over the Beaufort in July together with the absence of spatial homogeneity in the springtime
sea ice drift
fields suggest that continued
sea ice decline will be an artifact of increased temperatures and thermodynamic forcing rather than the considerable dynamical contributions seen in summer of 2007.
