Abstract :
The “Odden” is a large sea ice feature that forms in the East Greenland Sea. During the winter, the ice edge of the Odden may advance and retreat by several hundred kilometers on relatively short time scales. An analysis of the satellite passive microwave derived ice area and extent time series along with meteorological data from the Arctic Drifting Buoy Network determined the meteorological forcing required for Odden growth, maintenance and decay
