Fig. 3: Sea-ice lengths over 2003–2009.
From: Large-scale ice-shelf calving events follow prolonged amplifications in flexure
a–c, Yearly count of low sea-ice days (Lpck ≤ 50 km, Ltot ≤ 100 km) for the Voyeykov (a), Wilkins RC (b) and Wilkins CL (c) (years are September–August). d–i, Daily time-series of effective sea-ice lengths for Lpck (d,f,h) and Lann and Lper (e,g,i) for the Voyeykov (d,e), Wilkins RC (f,g) and Wilkins CL (h,i). The sea-ice lengths shown are means for the lowest 33% of transects for a particular shelf front on a given day (Methods). The lighter shaded regions are after the calving events (the second calving event for the Wilkins CL).
