Sea-Ice Wintertime Lead Frequencies and Regional Characteristics in the Arctic, 2003–2015

The presence of sea-ice leads represents a key feature of the Arctic sea ice cover. Leads promote the flux of sensible and latent heat from the ocean to the cold winter atmosphere and are thereby crucial for air-sea-ice-ocean interactions. We here apply a binary segmentation procedure to identify le...
