Comparison of the Sea-ice thickness distribution in the Lincoln Sea and adjacent Arctic Ocean in 2004 and 2005

Abstract: Results of helicopter-borne electromagnetic (HEM) measurements of total (ice plus snow) sea 26% between the buoys and the coast is larger than the observed thickness increase south of 84°N. This points to the importance of shear in a narrow band along the coast, and of ice export through Nares Strait in removing ice from the study region.

“…This was due mainly to a fundamental regime shift from multiyear ice to first-year ice. But there has also been a general thinning of the ice (Nghiem et al, 2007;Haas et al, 2008) These results are in stark contrast with observations between Ellesmere Island and 86°N, where ice thickness was still above 4 m in 2006 (Haas et al, 2006).…”

“…first-year ice (FYI); and (B) perennial or multi-year ice (MYI), which is ice that survives at least one melt season (Wadhams, 2000). MYI is typically much thicker than FYI; especially along the northern coast of Canada and Greenland where MYI is generally thicker than 3.5 m (Haas et al, 2006(Haas et al, , 2010. Until recently, MYI dominated the Arctic sea ice cover; however, the proportion of MYI has dwindled from 470% of the total sea ice cover to under 45% over the past three decades (Serreze et al, 2007;Maslanik et al, 2011).…”

“…Location of the study site in the Labrador Sea, with Pauli RGB (HH + VV for blue, HH − VV for red, and HV for green) decompositions of the RADARSAT-2 images © MDA. The specifications of the SAR data used are given in Table 3. the ice thickness values derived from such soundings agree well within ±0.1 m over flat homogeneous ice (Haas et al, 2006;Prinsenberg et al, 2012b). The accuracy decreases over ridges and deformed ice, where the maximum thickness can be underestimated by as much as 50 % (Haas et al, 2006;Prinsenberg et al, 2012b).…”

Snow thickness profiles were collected concurrently with a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and the laser altimeter measurements.…”
