Antarctic Ocean polynyasThe spatial and temporal variability of sea ice concentrations derived from Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) brightness temperatures are presented. Emphasis is on the continental shelf region of the Ross Sea during 1984, when supporting data were obtained from oceanographic stations and moored instruments. The effects of the large spring polynya in the Ross Sea on summer insolation, surface heat layer storage, and late autumn ice formation are described.
