Average cosine coefficient and spectral distribution of the light field under sea ice: Implications for primary production
The Arctic spring phytoplankton bloom has been reported to commence under a melting sea ice cover as transmission of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR; 400–700 nm) suddenly increases with the formation of surface melt ponds. Spatial variability in ice surface characteristics, i.e., snow thick...
