The egg code describes the size of sea ice floes in an area, as well as the thickness, extent and concentration of the ice. It is called the egg code because of its oval shape. Objectives: The student will: • determine sea ice thickness, concentration and floe size by reading egg codes; • create an egg code for an area of sea ice; and
Sea ice is a composite material made up of pure ice, liquid brine, air, and salt. The volumetric fractions of these components—ice, brine, and air—determine the key physical properties of sea ice, including thermal conductivity, heat capacity, latent heat, density, elastic modulus, and mechanical strength.

6 cze 2016 · The basic data concerning concentrations, stages of development (age) and form (floe size) of ice are contained in a simple oval form. A maximum of three ice types is described within the oval. This oval and the coding associated with it, are referred to as the "Egg Code".
An ice floe is any contiguous piece of sea ice. Floes are subdivided according to horizontal extent.
27 maj 2015 · The measurement of morphological properties of ice floes could inform us on key properties regarding the rheology of sea ice and help the reconstruction of the number of floes of a given...
As a team, you need to identify an ice floe that is suitable to park/attach your icebreaker in. You will be using data and the ice floe guidelines from MOSAiC to do this.
19 maj 2023 · We present a color map and histogram of the associated floe size distribution based on the ice size. The speed of calculating the sea ice density of each image reaches 21 FPS and the results show that sea ice concentration and floe size distribution can be accurately measured.
