Annual variation of temperature and mass balance of first-year and second-year land-fast sea ice in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica by Dinglong Zhao, Bin Cheng, Matti Leppäranta, Jingkai Ma, Xuejing Chen, Jiechen Zhao

“…The evolution of the temperature and mass balance of first-year (FYI: Site S1) and second-year (SYI: Site S2) land-fast sea ice (LFSI) in May–November were investigated using high-resolution thermistor-string-based ice mass balance buoys, borehole measurements and a numerical sea ice model. In May, the growth rate of a 0.55 m FYI ice floe (9.2 mm day−1) was twice that of 1.08 m SYI (4.7 mm day−1) in snow-free conditions. …”
