| Summary: | X-ray computed-tomography was performed on centrifuged sea-ice samples collected in landfast sea ice near Utqiaġvik, Alaska (AK). Data are part of the Seasonal Ice Zone Observing Network (SIZONet), by the sea-ice research group at the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, P.O. Box 757320, Fairbanks, AK 99775-7320, United State of America (USA). SIZONet Phase I led to the development of the sea-ice system services (SISS) concept, describing societal benefits (and potentially negative impacts) derived from the ice cover. By assessing the nature and extent of SISS, the Principle Investigators (PI) are able to build a sea-ice observing network that is responsive to the needs of both the scientific community and key stakeholders. SIZONet builds on collaboration with several international partners, and spans the entire latitudinal extent of the Arctic seasonal ice zone (SIZ). Based on common protocol and coordinated observation strategies developed in the context of an international working group led by the project team, SIZONet Phase II refines and narrows the scope of the project and focuses on sustaining core observations.
