Data and the CONCLUSIONS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BIBLIOGRAPHY TABLES FIGURES 1 a. INTRODUCTION difficulty in observing the polar sea-ice cover and its influence on the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layer is the ephemerality of active geophysical processes. Identifying of sea-ice formation, change and decay, is the key to successful measurement of these processes, Sea ice continuously adjusts to the ocean and atmosphere, and the magnitude or scale of corresponding changes is determined by the atmospheric and oceanographic forcing terms ranging spatially from meters to thousands of kilometers, and temporally from diurnal to Table indicates the spatial and temporal scales of key sea-ice variables of interest to sea-ice geophysicists and oceanographers.
