英文摘要	Norske Øer Ice Barrier (NØIB) is a vast region of fast ice off northeast Greenland. To understand its thermodynamics, an ice mass balance buoy (IMB) was deployed in late August 2012. The IMB operated for a full year, providing unique year-round observations of air, snow, ice, and upper ocean. Here, we examine atmospheric conditions and snow and sea ice evolution, derive the ocean heat flux at the deployment site, and investigate the effect of snow on the sea ice mass balance. Although an extremely low surface air temperature of −52°C was recorded at the IMB site, the sum of freezing-degree days (4,848 K·d) is similar to that in the central Arctic. The maximum snow depth 0.73 m (on 29 May 2013, when ice was 2.19 m thick) is thicker than typically observed on level Arctic landfast ice and drift ice, and thick snow appears common in this region. Ocean heat flux was large in autumn and early winter (>7 W m−2), attributed in part to local solar heating of surface waters in summer and advected ocean heat later in the year. The combination of high ocean heat flux and thick snow resulted in a net loss of ice at the ice bottom over the year. A one-dimensional sea ice model suggests that the thick snow cover limits bottom ice growth significantly. The heavy snow load could potentially have contributed 0.29 m snow ice; however, we cannot unambiguously prove this happened. ©2020. The Authors.
