abstract = {The melt extent of the snow on the Greenland ice sheet is of considerable
importance to the ice sheet’s mass and energy balance, as well
as Arctic and global climates. By comparing passive microwave satellite
data to field observations, variations in melt extent have been detected
by establishing melt thresholds in the cross-polarized gradient ratio
{(XPGR).} The {XPGR,} defined as the normalized difference between
the {19-GHz} horizontal channel and the {37-GHz} vertical channel
of the Special Sensor {Microwave/Imager} {(SSM/I),} exploits the
different effects of snow wetness on different frequencies and polarizations
and establishes a distinct melt signal. Using this {XPGR} melt signal,
seasonal and interannual variations in snowmelt extent of the ice
sheet are studied. The melt is found to be most extensive on the
western side of the ice sheet and peaks in late July. Moreover, there
is a notable increasing trend in melt area between the years 1979
and 1991 of 4.4\% per year, which came to an abrupt halt in 1992
after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. A similar trend is observed in
the temperatures at six coastal stations. The relationship between
the warming trend and increasing melt trend between 1979 and 1991
suggests that a {1В°C} temperature rise corresponds to an increase
in melt area of 73000 km2, which in general exceeds one standard
deviation of the natural melt area variability.},

abstract = {Passive microwave satellite data provide extremely important information about the climate and surface conditions in the often cloudy high latitude regions of the Earth. Available since 1978, multichannel passive microwave data have great potential for long term climate monitoring. In order to ensure consistent data sets for such long term monitoring, the relations between the microwave brightness temperatures from similar sensors on successive satellite platforms must be understood. In this study the 19,22. and {37GHz} channels of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program {(DMSP)} F8 and F11 Special Sensor Microwave Imager {(SSMI)} instruments are compared. While the analysis shows that the two data sets are highly correlated with correlation coefficients greater than 0В·98. the consistency between the two data sets can be improved by applying small corrections in the order of I deg K. Two sets of regression coefficients are provided for adjusting the F11 data to the F8 baseline.},

of snow on landfast first-year sea ice},
journal = {J. Geophys. Res.},
volume = {100},
year = {1995},
abstract = {In this work we quantify the vertical geophysical and electrical properties
of a snow cover on landfast first-year sea ice observed during the
Seasonal Sea Ice Monitoring and Modelling Site {(SIMMS'92)} experiment.
Snow grain morphology, density, salinity, temperature and wetness
were measured; the volume fractions of air, ice, brine, and the complex
dielectric constant of the snow were modeled over a 3-cm vertical
resolution spanning a seasonal period from April to June. Our results
show that over the vertical dimension the snow grain morphology,
salinity, density, and fractional volumes of brine, ice, and air
covary. The statistical characterization of the vertical grain morphology
indicates that two distinct layers occurred under cold {(в€’20В°C)}
and three layers under warm {(в€’5В°C)} atmospheric temperatures.
Over the seasonal period it was shown that new snow was deposited
at about 250 kgВ·mв€’3 and quickly compacted to 375 kgВ·mв€’3 Snow
grains grew at different rates within the snow cover because of differing
metamorphic conditions. Dielectrically, the snow volume followed
closely the seasonal and vertical patterns of grain morphology, salinity,
temperature, density and the phase proportions of water within the
snow volume. As the season evolved, the increasing brine volumes
and presence of water in liquid phase caused the dielectric properties
to increase over several factors (ε′mix) and orders of magnitude
(ε″mix).},

abstract = {Significant advances are being made in our understanding of the Arctic
sea ice-climate system. The mean circulation of the Arctic sea ice
cover is now well defined through analysis of data from drifting
stations and buoys. Analysis of nearly 20 years of daily satellite
data from optical, infrared, and passive microwave sensors has documented
the regional variability in monthly ice extent, concentration, and
surface albedo. Advances in modeling include better treatments of
sea ice dynamics and thermodynamics, improved atmosphere-ice-ocean
coupling, and the development of high resolution regional models.
Diagnostic studies of monthly and interannual sea ice variability
have benefited from better sea ice data and geostrophic wind analyses
that incorporate drifting buoy data. Some evidence exists for a small
retreat of Arctic sea ice over the last 2 decades, but there are
large decadal fluctuations in regional ice extent. Antiphase relationships
between ice anomalies in different sectors can be related to changes
in atmospheric circulation. Evidence suggests that episodes of significant
salinity reduction in the North Atlantic, associated with extensive
sea ice in the Greenland Sea, may be a manifestation of a decadal
oscillation in the Arctic climate system. Aspects of the Arctic system
in need of further attention include the surface energy budget and
its variability, particularly with respect to the roles of cloud
cover and surface types in summer. Sea ice thickness distribution
data remain meager, and there are many unknowns regarding the circulation
and hydrologic cycle of the Arctic Ocean and its links to the world
ocean. Planned measurements from a new generation of satellites,
supported by field programs, will provide much needed data to address
these issues. },

radiometer and its predecessor {SMMR} are primary sources of information
for global sea ice and climate studies. However, comparisons of {SSM/I,}
Landsat, {AVHRR,} and {ERS-1} synthetic aperture radar {(SAR)} have
shown substantial seasonal and regional differences in their estimates
of sea ice concentration. To evaluate these differences, we compared
{SSM/I} estimates of sea ice coverage derived with the {NASA} Team
and Bootstrap algorithms to estimates made using {RADARSAT,} and
{OKEAN-01} satellite sensor data. The study area included the Barents
Sea, Kara Sea, Laptev Sea, and adjacent parts of the Arctic Ocean,
during October 1995 through October 1999. Ice concentration estimates
from spatially and temporally near-coincident imagery were calculated
using independent algorithms for each sensor type. The {OKEAN} algorithm
implemented the satellite's two-channel active (radar) and passive
microwave data in a linear mixture model based on the measured values
of brightness temperature and radar backscatter. The {RADARSAT} algorithm
utilized a segmentation approach of the measured radar backscatter,
and the {SSM/I} ice concentrations were derived at National Snow
and Ice Data Center {(NSIDC)} using the {NASA} Team and Bootstrap
algorithms. Seasonal and monthly differences between {SSM/I,} {OKEAN,}
and {RADARSAT} ice concentrations were calculated and compared. Overall,
total sea ice concentration estimates derived independently from
near-coincident {RADARSAT,} {OKEAN-01,} and {SSM/I} satellite imagery
demonstrated mean differences of less than 5.5\% {(S.D.{\textless}9.5\%)}
during the winter period. Differences between the {SSM/I} {NASA}
Team and the {SSM/I} Bootstrap concentrations were no more than 3.1\%
{(S.D.{\textless}5.4\%)} during this period. {RADARSAT} and {OKEAN-01}
data both yielded higher total ice concentrations than the {NASA}
Team and the Bootstrap algorithms. The Bootstrap algorithm yielded
higher total ice concentrations than the {NASA} Team algorithm. Total
ice concentrations derived from {OKEAN-01} and {SSM/I} satellite
imagery were highly correlated during winter, spring, and fall, with
mean differences of less than 8.1\% {(S.D.{\textless}15\%)} for the
{NASA} Team algorithm, and less than 2.8\% {(S.D.{\textless}13}},

This comparative study evaluates several methods used to estimate sea-ice melt and freeze onset dates: (1) the melt onset database derived from {SSM/I} passive microwave brightness temperatures {(Tbs)} using Drobot and Anderson's {[J.} Geophys. Res. 106 (2001) 24033] Advanced Horizontal Range Algorithm {(AHRA)} and distributed by the National Snow and Ice Data Center {(NSIDC);} (2) the International Arctic Buoy {Program/Polar} Exchange at the Sea {(IABP/POLES)} surface air temperatures {(SATs);} (3) an elaborated version of the {AHRA} that uses {IABP/POLES} to avoid anomalous results {(Passive} Microwave and Surface Temperature Analysis {[PMSTA]);} (4) another elaborated version of the {AHRA} that uses Tb variance to avoid anomalous results {(Mean} Differences and Standard Deviation Analysis {[MDSDA]);} (5) Smith's {[J.} Geophys. Res. 103 (1998) 27753] vertically polarized Tb algorithm for estimating melt onset in multiyear {(MY)} ice {(SSM/I} {19V-37V);} and (6) analyses of concurrent backscattering cross section ([sigma]пїЅ) and brightness temperature {(Tb)} from {OKEAN-01} satellite series. Melt onset and freeze onset maps were created and compared to understand how the estimates vary between different satellite instruments and methods over different Arctic sea-ice regions. Comparisons were made to evaluate relative sensitivities among the methods to slight adjustments of the Tb calibration coefficients and algorithm threshold values. Compared to the {PMSTA} method, the {AHRA} method tended to estimate significantly earlier melt dates, likely caused by the {AHRA's} susceptibility to prematurely identify melt onset conditions. In contrast, the {IABP/POLES} surface air temperature data tended to estimate later melt and earlier freeze in all but perennial ice. The {MDSDA} method was least sensitive to small adjustments of the {SMMR-SSM/I} inter-satellite calibration coefficients. Differences among methods varied by latitude. Freeze onset dates among methods were most disparate in southern latitudes, and tended to converge northward. Surface air temperatures {(IABP/POLES)} indicated freeze onset well before the {MDSDA} method, especially in southern peripheral seas, while {PMSTA} freeze estimates were generally intermediate. Surface air temperature data estimated latest melt onset dates in southern latitudes, but earliest melt onset in northern latitudes. The {PMSTA} estimated earliest melt onset dates in southern regions, and converged with the {MDSDA} northward. Because sea-ice melt and freeze are dynamical transitional processes, differences among these methods are associated with differing sensitivities to changing stages of environmental and physical development. These studies contribute to the growing body of documentation about the levels of disparity obtained when Arctic seasonal transition parameters are estimated using various types of microwave data and algorithms.},

duration for the entire Northern Hemisphere varied from a 104-day
minimum in 1983 and 1996 to a 124-day maximum in 1989. Ranges in
melt duration were highest in peripheral seas, numbering 32, 42,
44, and 51 days in the Laptev, Barents-Kara, East Siberian, and Chukchi
Seas, respectively. In the Arctic Ocean, average melt duration varied
from a 75-day minimum in 1987 to a 103-day maximum in 1989. On average,
melt onset in annual ice began 10.6 days earlier than perennial ice,
and freeze onset in perennial ice commenced 18.4 days earlier than
annual ice. Average annual melt dates, freeze dates, and melt durations
in annual ice were significantly correlated with seasonal strength
of the Arctic Oscillation (AO). Following high-index AO winters (January--March),
spring melt tended to be earlier and autumn freeze later, leading
to longer melt season durations. The largest increases in melt duration
were observed in the eastern Siberian Arctic, coincident with cyclonic
low pressure and ice motion anomalies associated with high-index
AO phases. Following a positive AO shift in 1989, mean annual melt
duration increased 2--3 weeks in the northern East Siberian and Chukchi
Seas. Decreasing correlations between consecutive-year maps of melt
onset in annual ice during 1979--2001 indicated increasing spatial
variability and unpredictability in melt distributions from one year
to the next. Despite recent declines in the winter AO index, recent
melt distributions did not show evidence of reestablishing spatial
patterns similar to those observed during the 1979--88 low-index
AO period. Recent freeze distributions have become increasingly similar
to those observed during 1979--88, suggesting a recurrent spatial
pattern of freeze chronology under low-index AO conditions.},

The arctic sea-ice variations over the past several decades are compatible
with the corresponding air temperatures, which show a distinct warming
that is strongest over northern land areas during the winter and
spring. The temperature trends over the subarctic seas are smaller
and even negative in the southern Greenland region. Statistically
significant decreases of the summer extent of arctic ice are apparent
in the sea-ice data, and new summer minima have been achieved three
times in the past 15 years. There is no significant trend of ice

abstract = {Accurate quantification and characterization of the Arctic summer
ice cover are needed for mass balance, heat flux, and modeling studies
in the region. A general assessment of the state and basic characteristics
of the ice cover can best be done in summer because it is when the
perennial component is fully revealed. The main source of summer
ice information has been passive microwave and to a lesser degree
active microwave data. However, the emissivity and backscatter of
sea ice are abnormal and difficult to resolve during this time period,
causing large uncertainties in the interpretation of satellite data.
In this study we examined the state of the sea ice cover by using
special scanning microwave imager {(SSM/I),} synthetic aperture radar
{(SAR),} and advanced very high resolution radiometer {(AVHRR)} satellite
data synergistically. The surface and radiative characteristics of
the summer ice cover were evaluated in the context of three special
events: onset of melt, melt ponding, and freeze-up. These events
affect the emissivity and backscatter and may alter the albedo and
ice structure. Onset of melt is readily detectable and is shown to
migrate rapidly to the north in June. Melt ponding is not directly
observable but is postulated to be the main cause of the decreases
in brightness temperatures and large discrepancies between the {SSM/I}
and {SAR} ice concentration results in many areas. In these areas,
{SAR} and {AVHRR} results show concentrations near 100\%, while the
{SSM/I} data were as low as 70\%. During freeze-up the ice signatures
are still quite different from those of midwinter ice, but the ice
concentrations from {SSM/I} generally agree well with those from
{SAR} data. Our results show that, generally, the average ice concentration
within the pack is usually greater than 90\% during the summer, which
is substantially larger than that inferred previously from passive
microwave data. The use of combined {SAR} and {SSM/I} data may also
provide melt-ponding fraction and first-order estimate of albedo
in the Arctic region.},

Specifically, we evaluate the potential of instrument-based aerial
surveys (combining infrared imagery with high-resolution digital
photography to detect and identify species) for estimating abundance
of polar bears and seals in the Chukchi Sea. We investigate the consequences
of different levels of survey effort, flight track allocation and
model configuration on bias and precision of abundance estimators.
For bearded seals (0.07 animals km-2) and ringed seals (1.29 animals
km-2), we find that eight flights traversing ≈7840 km are sufficient
to achieve target precision levels (coefficient of variation (CV)\<20\%)
for a 2.94{\texttimes}105 km2 study area. For polar bears (provisionally,
0.003 animals km-2), 12 flights traversing ≈11 760 km resulted in
CVs ranging from 28 to 35\%. Estimators were relatively unbiased
with similar precision over different flight track allocation strategies
and estimation models, although some combinations had superior performance.
These findings suggest that instrument-based aerial surveys may provide
a viable means for monitoring seal and polar bear populations on
the surface of the sea ice over large Arctic regions. More broadly,
our simulation-based approach to evaluating survey designs can serve
as a template for biologists designing their own surveys.},

abstract = {Springtime microwave brightness temperatures over first-year ice are
examined for the southern Kara Sea. Snow emissivity changes are revealed
by episodic drops in the 37- to {18-GHz} brightness temperature gradient
ratio measured by the Nimbus 7 scanning multichannel microwave radiometer.
We suggest that the negative gradient ratios in spring 1982 result
from increased scatter at 37 {GHz} due to the formation of a near-surface
hoar layer. This interpretation is supported by the results of a
surface radiation balance model that shows the melt signature occurring
at below freezing temperatures but under clear-sky conditions with
increased solar input to the surface. Published observations from
the Greenland ice cap show a surface hoar layer forming under similar
atmospheric conditions owing to the increased penetration and absorption
of solar radiation just below the surface layer. In spring/early
summer 1984 similar gradient ratio signatures occur. They appear
to be due to several days of freeze-thaw cycling following the movement
of a low-pressure system through the region. These changes in surface
emissivity represent the transition from winter to summer conditions
(as defined by the microwave response) and are shown to be regional
in extent and to vary with the synoptic circulation.},

abstract = {The sea ice-albedo feedback mechanism over the Arctic Ocean multiyear
sea ice is investigated by conducting a series of experiments using
several one-dimensional models of the coupled sea ice-atmosphere
system. In its simplest form, ice-albedo feedback is thought to be
associated with a decrease in the areal cover of snow and ice and
a corresponding increase in the surface temperature, further decreasing
the areal cover of snow and ice. It is shown that the sea ice-albedo
feedback can operate even in multiyear pack ice, without the disappearance
of this ice, associated with internal processes occurring within
the multiyear ice pack (e.g., duration of the snow cover, ice thickness,
ice distribution, lead fraction, and melt pond characteristics).
The strength of the ice-albedo feedback mechanism is compared for
several different thermodynamic sea ice models: a new model that
includes ice thickness distribution, the Ebert and Curry model, the
Maykut and Untersteiner model, and the Semtner level-3 and level-0
models. The climate forcing is chosen to be a perturbation of the
surface heat flux, and cloud and water vapor feedbacks are inoperative
so that the effects of the sea ice-albedo feedback mechanism can
be isolated. The inclusion of melt ponds significantly strengthens
the ice-albedo feedback, while the ice thickness distribution decreases
the strength of the modeled sea ice-albedo feedback. It is emphasized
that accurately modeling present-day sea ice thickness is not adequate
for a sea ice parameterization; the correct physical processes must
be included so that the sea ice parameterization yields correct sensitivities
to external forcing.},

The dominant mode of winter {(January–March)} sea ice variability
exhibits out-of-phase fluctuations between the western and eastern
North Atlantic, together with a weaker dipole in the North Pacific.
The time series of this mode has a high winter-to-winter autocorrelation
(0.69) and is dominated by decadal-scale variations and a longer-term
trend of diminishing ice cover east of Greenland and increasing ice
cover west of Greenland. Associated with the dominant pattern of
winter sea ice variability are large-scale changes in {SAT} and {SLP}
that closely resemble the North Atlantic oscillation. The associated
{SAT} and surface sensible and latent heat flux anomalies are largest
over the portions of the marginal sea ice zone in which the trends
of ice coverage have been greatest, although the well-documented
warming of the northern continental regions is also apparent. The
temporal and spatial relationships between the {SLP} and ice anomaly
fields are consistent with the notion that atmospheric circulation
anomalies force the sea ice variations. However, there appears to

abstract = {Ablation of snow over sea ice is an important physical process affecting
the Arctic surface energy balance. An improved understanding of the
spatial and temporal variations in snowmelt onset could be utilized
to improve climate simulations in the Arctic, as well as monitor
the Arctic for signs of climate change. Utilizing an updated approach
for monitoring snowmelt onset over Arctic sea ice, spatial variability
in passive microwave derived snowmelt onset dates is examined from
1979 through 1998. The improved technique, termed the advanced horizontal
range algorithm {(AHRA),} utilizes temporal variations in 18/19 {GHz}
and 37 {GHz} passive microwave horizontal brightness temperatures
obtained from the scanning multichannel microwave radiometer {(SMMR)}
and the Special Sensor {Microwave/Imager} {(SSM/I)} to identify snowmelt
onset. A qualitative assessment of spatial variability in snowmelt
onset discusses the 1979 through 1998 mean snowmelt onset pattern,
and it also illustrates that there are significant variations in
snowmelt onset on an annual basis. Principal component analysis of
the snowmelt onset dates suggests snowmelt onset variability is dominated
by a zone of abnormally early (late) snowmelt onset near the Siberian
coast and another zone of abnormally late (early) snowmelt onset
near Baffin Bay. Statistical analysis between the first principal
component and {March-June} monthly averaged Arctic Oscillation values
implies that variations in snowmelt onset are related to alterations
in the phase of the spring Arctic Oscillation.},

abstract = {We extend earlier analyses of a 8.8-year sea ice data set that described
the local seasonal variations and trends in each of the hemispheric

four satellite instruments. The seasonal cycle characteristics remain
essentially the same as for the shorter time series, but the local
trends are markedly different, in some cases reversing sign. The
sign reversal reflects the lack of a consistent long-term trend and
could be the result of localized long-term oscillations in the hemispheric
sea ice covers. By combining the separate hemispheric sea ice records
into a global one, we have shown that there are statistically significant
net decreases in the sea ice coverage on a global scale. The change
in the global sea ice extent is −0.01 ± 0.003 × 106
km2 per decade. The decrease in the areal coverage of the sea ice
is only slightly smaller, so that the difference in the two, the
ice-free areas within the packs, has no statistically significant
change.},
