The process of snow-ice formation and its impact on young Arctic sea ice, RiS-ID 10915

The Arctic region is experiencing a change from thick multiyear to much younger and thinner sea ice. In many places, increasing precipitation is leading to higher snow loads on young sea ice. Hence seawater can infiltrate the snow layer through pathways in the ice or from the side. Consequently p...
