Summary: | The mass balance of sea ice and evolution of the sea ice thickness distribution is a key component of the Arctic system. It is controlled by thermodynamic ice growth and melt, mechanical redistribution through ridging and rafting, and transport. The SEDNA experiment was designed in a regional Lagrangian frame of reference, and tracked the evolution of a region of ice surrounding the APLIS 2007 ice camp, such that we can isolate the role of mechanical redistribution on the ice thickness distribution. |
