Description

Section through an ice floe with parameters used in glaciological research to quantify and describe the coverage of sea ice

  • Ice thickness: total thickness of the ice floe (draft + freeboard)
  • Freeboard: part of the ice floe above the water surface (without snow)
  • Draft: part of the ice floe below the water surface
  • Snow thickness: maximum thickness of snow coverage on the ice floe
  • Melt pond depth: maximum depth of an melt pond on the ice floe
  • Melt pond bottom Z coordinate: distance between the water surface and the bottom of the melt pond
