The sea ice surface is much lighter than open water surfaces so that a good deal of the sun’s radiation is reflected by snow on the sea ice.. Thus the ice helps protect the

We here combine the Russian ice-drift station data with more recent data to (1) identify common sea-ice protists (in particular diatoms) in drifting sea ice of the Central Arctic

Water samples from the Bering Sea sites shared more OTUs with the Shelikof Strait site than 182. with the sea ice sample, despite the existence of sea ice in the

The increasing number of sea-ice related satellite observations in the Arctic can be used to improve the model predictions through data assimilation.. For sea ice, sea-ice
