The accumulation...

...; Ellen Damm; Bruno Delille Leads play an important role in the exchange of heat, gases, vapour, and particles between seawater and the atmosphere in ice-covered polar oceans. In summer, these processes can be modified significantly by the formation of a meltwater layer at the surface, yet we know little...

... Ulfsbo; Chris Marsay; Melinda A. Webster; Sönke Maus; Knut V. Høyland; Mats A. Granskog Low-salinity meltwater from Arctic sea ice and its snow cover accumulates and creates under-ice meltwater layers below sea ice. These meltwater layers can result in the formation of new ice layers, or false bottoms...
