Formation, Growth, and Decay of Sea-Ice in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
Equations relating the accretion and decay of sea ice to standard meteorological data are derived empirically from observations at Alert, Eureka, Isachsen, Mould Bay, and Resolute, 1947-1957. The differential equations permit calculation of ice growth by increments, and contain a separate term allow...
