Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Ice-Albedo Feedback Processes in the Arctic Basin
The overall goal of our proposed work is to develop a quantitative understanding of the processes that collectively make up the ice-albedo feedback mechanism. To achieve this goal, we must first determine how shortwave radiation is distributed within the ice-ocean system, then assess the effects of...
