Bowen, Brady | Fractal geometry of melt ponds: Modeling the fractal geometry of arctic melt ponds using the level sets of random surfaces | During the late spring, most of the Arctic Ocean is covered by sea ice with a layer of snow on top. As the snow and sea ice begin to melt, water collects on the surface to form melt ponds. As melting progresses, sparse, disconnected ponds coalesce to form complex, self-similar structures which are c... | Melt pond geometry | 2016-04 |
