Summary

• First year ice is becoming more prevalent in the Arctic

• FY ponds behave is quite differently from MY ponds

• Early season ponds on FYI form above hydrostatic

equilibrium and have large coverage

• Duration of this flooding could significantly effect melt.

• Understanding the mechanisms which control meltwater

drainage is crucial for modeling FY ponds

• If you have unpublished melt pond coverage data, I’d like

to collaborate with you!
