Dear sea-ice community,
For the upcoming IGS 2019 in Winnipeg, we invite abstracts on: 1) snow processes affecting the sea-ice mass budget of both hemispheres, and 2) the effects of snow on remote sensing-derived sea-ice thickness retrievals. Key questions include (but are not limited to): What is the contribution of snow and snow-related processes to the mass budgets of the Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice covers, and how is this changing and/or varying? What is the contribution of snow to current uncertainties in satellite-based retrievals of sea ice thickness, and how can this be addressed? We invite studies based on in situ observations (including use of autonomous technologies) and remote sensing approaches as well as overarching studies on snow properties and processes in both hemispheres.
