Sea ice fastened to coasts, icebergs and ice shelves is of crucial importance for climateand ecosystems. At the same time, it is not represented in climate models and many processes affecting its energy- and mass balance are currently only poorly understood. Near Antarctic ice shelves, which fringe...
