Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010287
Ice that forms during the cold season, specifically referring to the annual ice cover that develops in bodies of water and subsequently melts in warmer months. This contrasts with perennial ice, which persists through multiple melt seasons. The formation and extent of winter ice are influenced by air temperature, water salinity, and wind conditions.
