Sea ice conditions and navigability through the Northeast Passage in the past 40 years based on remote-sensing data

Sea ice conditions and navigability through the Northeast Passage in the past 40 years based on remote-sensing data

Sea ice conditions and navigability along four typical routes of the Northeast Passage (NEP) are analysed using remote-sensing data from 1979 to 2019. The influence of air temperature (Tair) and surface wind on the sea ice concentration (SIC) and the navigability of routes is determined. It is found...
