Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Ice-albedo Feedback Processes in the Arctic Basin
Our overall objective is to develop a quantitative understanding of the processes which collectively make up the ice-albedo feedback mechanism. This mechanism is generally believed to be a major factor in amplifying variations that occur within the earth s climate system. To achieve this understandi...
