The thermodynamic predictability of sea ice / Robert W. Grumbine.
Title: | The thermodynamic predictability of sea ice / Robert W. Grumbine. |
Author(s): | Grumbine, Robert W. |
Date: | 1994. |
In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1994.), Vol. 40(135) (1994) |
Abstract: | Statistical analyses and model experiments suggest that sea ice is predictable weeks to months in advance. Thermodynamic mechanisms by which this predictability can be realized are examined. Found that predictability is dependent on differential growth/decay of sea ice as function of thickness. In winter, or year-round for thin ice, growth/decay rates are strong functions of thickness, which gives relatively short period of predictability. In summer, or year-round for thick ice, growth/decay rates are only weak functions of thickness and period of predictability is longer. |
