- Abstract
The article discusses the energetics of extensive meltwater flooding of level Arctic sea ice during the spring-to-summer transition. According to the author, in Dease Strait (Nunavut), this transition was dramatic in 2014 when meltwater has floaded 95% of the surface. The flat ice cover, the deposition of new snow, the measure of layers and effect on sea ice permeability also are discussed.
