Sunlight, Sea Ice, and the Ice Albedo Feedback in a Changing Arctic Sea Ice Cover
The overarching goal of this work is to develop a quantitative understanding of the partitioning of solar radiation by the Arctic sea ice cover and its impact on the heat and mass balance of the ice and upper ocean.

Summary: | The overarching goal of this work is to develop a quantitative understanding of the partitioning of solar radiation by the Arctic sea ice cover and its impact on the heat and mass balance of the ice and upper ocean. Particular emphasis is placed on the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, where there have been large changes in ice conditions in recent years. |
