Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003861
Sea ice that forms or accumulates within the sheltered waters of a bay or inlet. Its characteristics, such as thickness and stability, are influenced by the local freshwater input, tidal currents, and exposure to wind and waves. Bay ice can range from thin, newly formed sheets to multi-year ice, depending on the duration of cold temperatures.
