FY 1977 Observations of medium-scale features along the seasonal ice edge in the Bering Sea Muench, R.D., and R.L. Charnell J. Phys. Oceanogr., 7(4), 602–606, doi: 10.1175/1520-0485(1977)007<0602:OOMSFA>2 (1977) During winter 1974–75, band-like ice features were observed via satellite in the Bering Sea water-ice transition zone during periods of off-ice winds. These were several tens of kilometers long, spaced from 6–12 km apart, and were generally oriented from 40–90° left of the surface wind direction. Formation of these features appears to be related to atmospheric convective processes; such features may be significant indicators of transition zone ice dynamics.
