Sea Ice, Ice Drift, and Oceanic Circulation
The episodic freezing over of the surface waters is arguably the most striking feature of the Southern and Arctic Oceans as well as some subarctic oceans such as the Baltic and Okhotsk Seas. Millions of square kilometers of ocean are covered by ephemeral layers of ice that are on average less than 1...
