Abstract |
In order to study the mesoscale variation in ice properties, horizontal variation of first-year landfast sea ice properties was investigated in the Gulf of Finland, the Baltic Sea. Several scales of variation were considered; samples at spacing of 0.2-, 2- and 20-m were sampled at several locations at different stages of the ice season. Spacing between these locations varied from hundreds of meters to kilometers. The variables measured included salinity, stable oxygen isotopes (δ¹8O), chlorophyll-a, nutrients, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Analyses of the data from the arrays did not show evidence of significant patchiness at scales <20-m. On scales of hundreds of meters to kilometers there was clear patchiness in several parameters (salinity, chl-a, snow depth and ice thickness). The results imply that the sampling effort in Baltic Sea ice studies should be concentrated at scales of hundreds of meters to kilometers. |
