Recent work in modelling climatic changes due to increased atmospheric CO2 has shown the maximum change to occur in the polar regions as a result of seasonal reductions in sea ice coverage. Typically, sea ice thermodynamics is modelled in a very simple way, whereby the storage of both sensible and l
## Abstract We examine the temporal evolution of snow distribution over firstβyear sea ice from late winter to the period when melt ponds form. Our objectives are to model snowmelt over firstβyear sea ice and investigate how melt rate affects the transmission of photosynthetically active radiation
## Abstract We apply a linear model of orographic precipitation (LT model) to estimate snow accumulation on the western Svartisen ice cap (220 km^2^) in northern Norway. This model combines 3D airflow dynamics with simple parameterizations of cloud physics. The model is forced by largeβscale atmosp
