Melt season duration on Canadian Arctic ice caps, 2000-2004

Melt season duration on Canadian Arctic ice caps, 2000-2004

The extent and duration of summer melt on ice caps in the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI), Nunavut, Canada, in 2000–2004 were mapped using enhanced resolution QuikSCAT (QSCAT) scatterometer images. The mean melt duration depends mainly on surface elevation and distance from Baffin Bay. Over most ice c...

description The extent and duration of summer melt on ice caps in the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI), Nunavut, Canada, in 2000–2004 were mapped using enhanced resolution QuikSCAT (QSCAT) scatterometer images. The mean melt duration depends mainly on surface elevation and distance from Baffin Bay. Over most ice caps, inter‐annual variations in melt duration and the variation in melt duration with elevation are closely related to variations in the July 500 hPa height over the QEI. Pressure‐related variability in the vertical gradient of near‐surface air temperature appears to be a major control on the inter‐annual variations in average melt duration.
