Sea ice thickness by Wikipedia Bot 0
Sea ice thickness refers to the depth of the frozen layer of sea water, which forms in polar regions and some subpolar areas when temperatures drop low enough for seawater to freeze. It is an important parameter in understanding the health and dynamics of polar ecosystems, climate change, and ocean circulation. Sea ice thickness can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the time of year, local weather conditions, ocean currents, and the geographic location. Typically, it is measured in meters or centimeters.
