Location and Areal Extent of Polynyas in the Bering and Chukchi Seas
AVHRR imagery has been used to document the sites of 22 polynyas in the Bering and Chukchi seas. Two principal classes of polynyas have been identified that tend to be negatively correlated: (1) persistent polynyas, which are present much of the time and form off south- and west-facing coasts, and (...
