Summary: | Sea ice is a most changeable component of the Antarctic ice cover. The ice characteristics are under affect of climatic and weather factors, hydrodynamic, wind and wave variation. Traps of the coast and shallows catch and concentrate broken and drifting sea ice forming multi-year ice. Dynamics and transformation of the sea ice by the scatterometer data were considered for the Antarctic Peninsula region and for the Ukrainian Vernadsky Station area in particular. These data are an importance to the climatic analysis and active ice navigation of the research and tourist vessels in the western Antarctic. |
