DOI: 10.1029/2020gl091353
Abstract: The importance of the area of active frazil and associated high sea‐ice production in Antarctic coastal polynyas has been increasingly recognized in recent in situ and high‐resolution satellite observations. However, the occurrence and spatial distribution… read more here.
