On the Response of a Sea-Ice Cover to Changes in Surface Temperature
The time separation between related extremes in the values of surface temperature and growth rate of a floating ice cover are shown to depend on the mean ice temperature and thickness. A quantity termed the lag coefficient is introduced for which observations from Churchill, Hudson Bay, and Davis, A...

Summary: | The time separation between related extremes in the values of surface temperature and growth rate of a floating ice cover are shown to depend on the mean ice temperature and thickness. A quantity termed the lag coefficient is introduced for which observations from Churchill, Hudson Bay, and Davis, Antarctica, suggest a dependence on temperature but not on geography. |
