2021 Professional Development Webinars: Dr. Bonnie Light and Dr. Maddie Smith
Sea ice forms a frozen lid on much of the earth’s Polar oceans. The properties of this ice play a large role not only in the ocean, but also the global climate. In this presentation, we’ll introduce the unique and interesting features of sea ice, including its high reflectivity ("albedo"). We’ll introduce the ways we measure these properties in remote polar oceans and use these observations to improve computer climate models.
