The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf : oceanography and resources / edited by Donald W. Hood and John A. Calder . easternberings00hood Year: 1981 162 Ice distribution and dynamics image (Fig. 10-11) with the 26 March TIROS image (Fig. 10-23). This period of retreat coincided with a time of maximum insolation and warm southerly winds generated by a low over the Aleutians (Pease, this volume). A comparison of Fig. 10-23 with the average weekly chart for 22-28 March (Fig. 10-5) shows the meltback proceeding in the eastern Bering Sea between the coast and Nunivak and St. Lawr
The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf : oceanography and resources / edited by Donald W. Hood and John A. Calder . easternberings00hood Year: 1981 162 Ice distribution and dynamics image (Fig. 10-11) with the 26 March TIROS image (Fig. 10-23). This period of retreat coincided with a time of maximum insolation and warm southerly winds generated by a low over the Aleutians (Pease, this volume). A comparison of Fig. 10-23 with the average weekly chart for 22-28 March (Fig. 10-5) shows the meltback proceeding in the eastern Bering Sea between the coast and Nunivak and St. Lawrence Islands, an area into which ice is continually advected (Fig. 10-6). It is interesting to note the persistence of the floes around St. Lawrence Island. The SLAR data for March 27 (Fig. 10-24) shows an open water/ thin ice area north of St. Lawrence Island (McNutt 1977), more leads present on the eastern edge of St. Lawrence Island, and open areas and new leads in Norton Sound. Figure 10-23. 26 March 1979. This TIROS enlargement shows the effects of a rapid meltback. (Compare with Fig. 10-11.)
