Springtime Melt Onset on Arctic Sea Ice from Satellite Observations and Related Atmospheric Conditions
The timing of snowmelt onset (MO) on Arctic sea ice derived from passive microwave satellite data is examined by determining the melting area (in km2) on a daily basis for the spring and summer melt season months over the 1979 – 2012 data record. The date of MO on Arctic sea ice has important implic...
