|a There is an ongoing shift in the Arctic sea ice cover from
multiyear ice to seasonal ice. Here we examine the impact of
this shift on sea ice albedo. Our analysis of observations from
four years of field experiments indicates that seasonal ice
undergoes an albedo evolution with seven phases; cold snow,
melting snow, pond formation, pond drainage, pond evolution,
open water, and freezeup. Once surface ice melt begins,
seasonal ice albedos are consistently less than albedos for
multiyear ice resulting in more solar heat absorbed in the ice
and transmitted to the ocean. The shift from a multiyear to
seasonal ice cover has significant implications for the heat
and mass budget of the ice and for primary productivity in
the upper ocean. There will be enhanced melting of the ice
cover and an increase in the amount of sunlight available in
the upper ocean. |
