Abstract: A parallel ocean and ice model (POIM) in generalized orthogonal curvilinear coordinates has been developed for global climate studies. The POIM couples the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) with a 12-category thickness and ...

Abstract: Navy submarines in the Arctic Ocean routinely obtain observations from an upward-looking sonar of the draft of the sea ice cover overhead. Draft data are now publicly available from some 40 cruises from 1975 to 2000 covering ...

Abstract: The surface temperature of arctic sea ice is estimated using the infrared channels of the Advanced Very High Revolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on satellites NOAA-10 and NOAA-11. Temperature statistics are analyzed for 478 cells ...

Abstract: The seasonal cycle of surface albedo of sea ice in the Arctic is estimated from measurements made with the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on the polar-orbiting satellites NOAA-10 and NOAA-11. The albedos ...

Abstract: A coupled ice?mixed layer?ocean model is constructed for the Arctic Ocean, the Barents Sea, and the Greenland?Iceland?Norwegian Sea. The model is used to address Arctic numerical modeling with and without climate restoring. ...
