Observations and modelling of first-year ice growth and simultaneous second-year ice ablation in the Prydz Bay, East Antarctica
The seasonal cycle of fast ice thickness in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica, was observed between March and December 2012. In March, we observed a 0.16 m thickness gain of 0.22 m-thick first-year ice (FYI), while 1.16 m-thick second-year ice (SYI) nearby simultaneously ablated by 0.59 m. A 1-D thermodyna...
