How do Arctic leads (cracks in sea ice) affect the atmosphere under different conditions?
Condensing plumes can act as "radiator fins", efficiently removing energy downstream; sometimes cooling the air even more than the lead initially warmed it!

Lead Impacts on the Moist Static Energy Budget of the Low‐Level Arctic Atmosphere in Large‐Eddy Simulations Based on MOSAiC Data
Idealized leads are introduced into a set of large-eddy simulations based on Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate field campaign data during polar night Lead imp...
