Influence of sea ice lead-width distribution on turbulent heat transfer between the ocean and the atmosphere
Leads are linear-like structures of open water within the sea ice cover that develop as the result of fracturing due to divergence or shear. Through leads, air and water come into contact and directly exchange latent and sensible heat through convective processes driven by the large temperature and...
