Poster presentation at the online CIRFA Annual Conference, 12.10.2020 - 14.10.2020 (https://cirfa.uit.no/welcome-to-the-cirfa-annual-conference-2020/), arranged by CIRFA: https://cirfa.uit.no/. In O’Sadnick et al. (2020), estimations of ice extent along the coast of Norway since 2001 determined from MODIS imagery are
presented. From our findings, it is evident that the amount of ice in one fjord over time often varies and shows little consistency
leading to the next question of ‘Why’? The study continues to relate freezing degree days, rainfall plus snowmelt, and snowfall
to values of ice area to determine if significant correlations exist when fjords are grouped into regions. Six out of the ten regions
were significantly postiviely correlated to freezing degree days (p < 0.05). Ice area in two regions was positively correlated to
daily new snowfall, and in one region negatively correlated to rainfall plus snowmelt. Please see the publication for further
description of methods and findings
