Sea Ice Thermodynamics with Dr. Donald Perovich
In this specific lesson, Dr. Donald Perovich discusses sea ice mass balance. You'll learn about the data collection tools used by MOSAiC scientists including stakes, temperature strings, and autonomous buoys that measure Arctic ice melt and growth through the seasons.
This video is part of a collection called “Frozen in the Ice: Exploring the Arctic,” offered through the online course platform Coursera, about the extraordinary MOSAiC Arctic research mission that has frozen an icebreaker into the Arctic Ocean, where it will drift for 13 months (mosaic-expedition.org).
