Researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute conducting measurements on the Arctic sea ice during a cruise with the research vessel Lance.
ICE Fluxes investigates the physical processes that control the behaviour of the Arctic sea ice. Over the past three decades, the Arctic sea ice cover has changed substantially with reductions in both extent and thickness. In ICE Fluxes, we focus on understanding processes from small to larger scales that govern energy and mass fluxes between the atmosphere, snow, sea ice, and ocean.
The Arctic sea ice cover is part of a complex and very dynamic physical system that includes the atmosphere (wind, sunlight, snow and rainfall, aerosols), the snow on top of the sea ice, the sea ice itself, the ocean underneath, and the biological organisms and by-products in the ice and water.
We aim to improve the understanding of how the components interact and which processes control the development of the sea ice cover. This will be done through extensive field work around Svalbard, in the Barents Sea, and in Fram Strait, through modelling using simple to highly sophisticated models, and through laboratory experiments with a rotating tank.
The Norwegian Polar Institute's centre for Ice, Climate and Ecosystems (ICE) was opened in 2009. ICE will position itself as a national competence centre for ice and climate research and environmental monitoring of the polar regions.
