Large-Scale Sea Ice Divergence and Convergence Monitoring in the Arctic Ocean during Spring 2018

This study investigates sea ice motion in the Arctic Ocean during the year 2018 to detect areas of ice deformation. We aim to improve the current understanding of large-scale sea ice circulation by examining ice convergence/divergence during the early melt-season. OSISAF sea ice drift data provided...

Description
Summary:This study investigates sea ice motion in the Arctic Ocean during the year 2018 to detect areas of ice deformation. We aim to improve the current understanding of large-scale sea ice circulation by examining ice convergence/divergence during the early melt-season. OSISAF sea ice drift data provided by EUMETSAT were used for the analysis during the months of March and April. Daily ice drifting speed and deformation parameters showed a strong correlation throughout the observed interval, while a local-scale analysis revealed different patterns for ice divergence and convergence in areas of enhanced ice drift. Finansiär: Arctic Challenge for Sustainability (ArCS)
