Second-year ice

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008751

Sea ice that has survived one summer melt season and is typically thicker and stronger than first-year ice. It exhibits a lower salinity due to brine drainage over time, making it more resilient. This type of ice is a transitional stage between first-year ice and multi-year ice.
