Evidence of algae growth and climate simulations reveal the Arctic had seasonal ice, not a permanent ice shelf, for much of ...

Antarctic sea ice began to change rapidly in 2015 and 2016. Since then it has remained well below the long-term average.

Overview This data set provides total sea ice concentration, partial concentration, stage of development, and ice form as defined by the World Meteorological Organization in SIGRID-3 shapefiles. The ...

Forecasting sea ice concentration (SIC) and sea ice velocity (SIV) in the Arctic Ocean is of great significance as the Arctic environment has been changed by the recent warming climate. Given that ...

Satellite imagery has revealed a yet-to-be-explained rise in the Southern Ocean's salinity. It could be a key factor in the ...

Because of an unstable polar vortex, experts have projected record low levels of Arctic sea ice for the coming winter.

Sea ice recognition at small incidence angles has rarely been studied. Moreover, SWIM uses a discrimination flag of sea ice and sea water to remove sea ice from sea wave products. Therefore, this ...

In the last few decades, the Arctic sea ice has receded ever further, including increasingly in winter when the extent of sea ice is at its most prominent. One of the main drivers of this ...

Earth’s major climate goal is too warm for the polar ice sheets, study says If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice ...

This data set (ATL10) contains estimates of sea ice freeboard, calculated using three different approaches. Sea ice leads used to establish the reference sea surface and descriptive statistics used in ...
