Transiting consolidated ice strongly influenced polynya area during a shrink event in Terra Nova Bay in 2013

Thick transiting ice blocked newly formed sea ice from exiting the Terra Nova Bay polynya during a shrinking event in 2013 and had a stronger influence on polynya area than katabatic winds or air temperature changes, according to an analysis of sea ice and meteorological data.
