Abstract
A marginal ice zone (MIZ) occurs where polar and temperate climate systems interact to form a transition between open ocean and pack ice regimes. This transition is characterized by large horizontal gradients in the properties of the ice, ocean, and atmosphere. As a geophysical boundary, the MIZ is unique in the complexity of the vertical and horizontal air‐sea‐ice interactions which take place there. Over a seasonal cycle, the ice edge can migrate hundreds of kilometers north and south to produce large variations in maximum and minimum extent.
