... ABSTRACT The knowledge of sea ice movement in the Arctic is very important both in the practical and pure scientific sense. We considered the Barents Sea, a dynamic region where sea ice can create problems for growing industrial activities, and analyzed ice drift in spring 2003–2016, covering...

... in both areas in February and March. There are notable differences in the timing and location of the slow-motion ice speed episodes between the two years and with location. INTRODUCTION Sea ice drift - the horizontal motion of sea ice - is a complex phenomenon. The motion is generated by numerous...

... ABSTRACT Ice drift measurements are needed to support ice management and navigation in arctic and sub-arctic regions where pack ice and/or icebergs are present. A method is described which can provide real time measurement of ice drift during operations, or can be used to analyze historical...

... dependent upon accurate ice drift forecasting. For example, decision to suspend drilling operations and/or disconnect in the event of an approaching unmanageable ice floe needs to be made with sufficient time to permit an orderly shut-in of the well. This paper demonstrates how a rigorous, physics-based...

... fights while the other runs the war. For example: While ice breaking seeks open water leads, ice management cannot avoid oncoming ice. Ice breaking is not affected by ice drift speed magnitude or change of direction, while ice management is extremely sensitive to changes in ice drift speed...

... ABSTRACT Sea ice motion in the Okhotsk Sea was analyzed by using satellite microwave sensors and coastal radar. A passive microwave radiometer indicates large-scale ice drift patterns. A dominant ice flow pattern was apparent along the eastern coast of Sakhalin and approaching Hokkaido...

... ABSTRACT Vector series of ice drift and wind velocities were analyzed. Estimates of maximum and average velocities of the non-tidal component of ice drift are obtained. The analysis shows a high correlation between the wind series and the residual component of ice drift. Values of "wind...

... size distributions in the strait. This provided site-specific ground validation data for ice signatures seen in the available RADARSAT SAR imagery covering the total Northumberland Strait and the Southern Gulf. The beacon data showed that ice drift in Northumberland Strait responds to tidal currents...

... ABSTRACT In this paper Ice cover drift in the north-eastern Sakhalin offshore is considered from the point of view the duration of ice drift for specific directions and velocities as well as the duration of quasistationary ice cover that is interesting for designing ice resistant stationary...

... ABSTRACT Wavelet analysis of microwave satellite data is used to obtain daily sea ice drift information for both the northern and southern polar regions. This technique provides improved spatial coverage over the existing array of Arctic Ocean buoys and better temporal resolution currently...
