Sentence examples for sensitive to ice from inspiring English sources

Since the insulating effect of sea ice is very sensitive to ice thickness, heat loss in regions of thin ice is one or two orders of magnitude greater than that in thicker ice regions in winter.

Of these, the simulated average sea-ice thickness is most sensitive to ice density; albedos and emissivity predominate in summer, while ice thickness is highly sensitive to the snow density in winter.

On a low you've got stubbed toes, slightly sliced fingertips when you're chopping an onion, teeth sensitive to ice water.

TIR measurements are not strongly sensitive to the ice habit assumptions (Cooper et al. 2006).

In this study we use a parcel model with detailed microphysics to show that cloud properties can be sensitive to homogeneous ice nucleation as warm as −30°C.

The proximity of this region to the East Antarctic Ice Sheet indicates that the area is sensitive to variations in inland ice volume, permitting the investigation of the behavioural relationship between the East Antarctic Ice Sheet and the alpine glacial system in northern Victoria Land.

Adélie penguin populations are known to be sensitive to changes in sea ice extent, the timing of sea ice retreat [ 13, 14] and the extent of glaciation [ 15].

At Béchervaise Island adult penguins were also sensitive to extremes in sea ice concentrations in their winter foraging grounds, with either too much sea ice (>80 % cover) or too little sea ice (<15 % cover) negatively impacting adult survival [ 14].

But under rain condition, the microwave radiation at 85 GHz is much more sensitive to the raindrops and ice particles in the clouds, and the TB of 85 GHz will descend seriously and become lower than the TB at 37-GHz channel.

Our simulations indicate that surface temperatures and sea level pressures in winter (DJF) are most sensitive to changes in sea ice, and that these changes are propagated over the surrounding land masses in the North Atlantic, but that equivalent changes in sea ice produce smaller corresponding changes in temperature or sea level pressure in the North Pacific region.

Like other intertidal organisms, M. laminarioides is probably highly sensitive to climatic changes and ice scour [ 6, 38, 47, 48].
