2007E Data Plot
 

The plot above shows a time series of  air,ice, and ocean temperature,  snow depth, and ice thickness. The internal ice temperature is displayed using color contours, with blue being cold and red warm. The boundary at the bottom between orange and navy blue denotes the ice-ocean interface and gray-white boundary is the snow-air interface. The gray represents the snow.
