Trends in draft and extent of seasonal pack ice
[1] Continuous observations by sub-sea sonar form a 12-year draft record for seasonal pack ice in the Beaufort Sea. There has been a small trend (0.07 m/decade) to thinner ice, but this has low statistical significance; net change is comparable to the uncertainty of measurement. Although ice concent...
