Arctic sea ice trends and narwhal vulnerability
Conservation measures related to global climate change require that species vulnerability be incorporated into population risk models, especially for those that are highly susceptible to rapid or extreme changes due to specialized adaptation. In the case of Arctic cetaceans, effects of climate change on habitat and prey availability have been subject to intense speculation. Climate perturbation...
متن کاملVariability and trends in sea ice extent and ice production in the Ross Sea
[1] Salt release during sea ice formation in the Ross Sea coastal regions is regarded as a primary forcing for the regional generation of Antarctic Bottom Water. Passive microwave data from November 1978 through 2008 are used to examine the detailed seasonal and interannual characteristics of the sea ice cover of the Ross Sea and the adjacent Bellingshausen and Amundsen seas. For this period th...

Improvement of large scale models developed to study the impacts of global changes in polar regions requires a better knowledge of the variability of the different parameters that control fluid dynamics and thermodynamics budgets at the interfaces. In the part of a fluid influenced by the presence of a solid interface, surface roughness is one of the key parameters that control momentum as much...
متن کاملSurface roughness characterizations of sea ice and ice sheets: case studies with MISR data
This work is an examination of potential uses of multiangular remote sensing imagery for mapping and characterizing sea ice and ice sheet surfaces based on surface roughness properties. We use data from the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) to demonstrate that ice sheet and sea ice surfaces have characteristic angular signatures and that these angular signatures may be used in much t...
