Effective ice thickness (ice thickness times concentration) from cube-sphere
integration (cube5) in the Arctic
and the Antarctic.
Colorscale ranges from 0 m (dark blue) and saturates at 2 m (dark red). Thin
white line shows sea-ice extent (15% concentration) from passive microwave
radiometer (SSM/I).
Another visualization of Arctic
sea-ice displays transparent simulated ice overlaid on top of 15-m ocean
current speed.
