Simple Rules Govern the Patterns of Arctic Sea Ice Melt Ponds

Simple Rules Govern the Patterns of Arctic Sea Ice Melt Ponds

Climate change, amplified in the far north, has led to rapid sea ice decline in recent years. In the summer, melt ponds form on the surface of Arctic sea ice, significantly lowering the ice reflectivity (albedo) and thereby accelerating ice melt. Pond geometry controls the details of this crucial fe...
