The three-dimensional light field within sea ice ridges

Abstract: Investigating the optical properties of sea ice is an important key to accurately understand the energy transfer across the atmosphere-ice-ocean boundary. Recent changes in the physical properties of the Antarctic and, more notably the Arctic sea ice cover, have resulted in increased light transmittance of the ice pack with important consequences for the physical and biological systems (Meier et al., 2014;Nicolaus et al., 2012). A large number of studies have investigated the optical properties of sea ice, but… Show more

“…pressure ridges, melt ponds). While the large ice thickness in ridges reduces light levels underneath, their complex internal structure can lead to favourable light conditions within (Katlein et al 2021 ). Melt ponds on top of the ice can dramatically increase the transmittance of sea ice since they have a much lower albedo than the surrounding ice (Nicolaus et al 2012 ; Light et al 2015 ).…”
