Divergent sea ice motion breaks the ice and opens fractures and leads. Depending on the air temperature, those open-water areas can quickly refreeze. The open water or thin ice...

Leads and fractures in sea ice play a crucial role in the heat and gas exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere, impacting atmospheric, ecological, and oceanic processes....

Leads and pressure ridges are dominant features of the Arctic sea ice cover. Not only do they affect heat loss and surface drag, but also provide insight into the underlying...

High resolution sea ice drift and deformation fields in March 2018 in the Wandel Sea and adjacent Arctic Ocean are presented. The fields cover a 30 days period of strong...
