Satellite Thermal Monitoring of Arctic Ice Front in Relation to Dynamics of a Polar Orbital Ocean Circulation

摘要

This work concerns an ice front evolution in the Arctic Sea referring to the satellite thermal monitoring. The satellite thermal pattern of the sea surface in a global scale have been introduced by this time. The author introduces his note to a hydrodynamic understanding of the ice front evolution in the interested sea area. The ice front evolution for the time period between 1980 and 2008 is too short to find what process of the ice front is an effect of global climate change. A theoretical analysis of equations of motion for the sea water around the ice front is introduced in order to realize what dynamical process may support the ice front evolution.
