Polynyas : windows to the world /
Polynyas are relatively ice-free regions when compared to the areas around them, and have been suggested as being foci for energy transfer between the atmosphere and ocean, ice factories, and critical areas with respect to polar ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. This volume presents an integrate...
