Summary
Section through an ice floe with parameters used in glaciological research to quantify and describe the coverage of sea ice
- Ice thickness: total thickness of the ice floe (draft + freeboard)
- Freeboard: part of the ice floe above the water surface (without snow)
- Draft: part of the ice floe below the water surface
- Snow thickness: maximum thickness of snow coverage on the ice floe
- Melt pond depth: maximum depth of a melt pond on the ice floe
- Melt pond bottom Z coordinate: distance between the water surface and the bottom of the melt pond
