Salinity Control of Thermal Evolution of Late Summer Melt Ponds on Arctic Sea Ice

Salinity Control of Thermal Evolution of Late Summer Melt Ponds on Arctic Sea Ice

Abstract The thermal evolution of melt ponds on Arctic sea ice was investigated through a combination of autonomous observations and two‐dimensional high‐resolution fluid dynamics simulations. We observed one relatively fresh pond and one saline pond on the same ice floe, with similar depth. The com...
