Recent changes in sea ice type and periodicity are increasing both the spatial and temporal range over which frost flowers can occur, yet their significance to overall ocean-sea ice-atmosphere (OSA) exchange processes remains poorly understood. The climate forcing of the ocean surface, at our winter...
