=== <span class="glossary-term">Sea ice</span> === <div class="glossary-working-groups">'''Working Groups:''' WGI; WGII</div> <div class="glossary-definition">'''Definition:''' Ice found at the sea surface that has originated from the freezing of seawater. Sea ice may be discontinuous pieces (ice floes) moved on the ocean surface by wind and currents (pack ice), or a motionless sheet attached to the coast (land-fast ice). Sea ice concentration is the fraction of the ocean covered by ice. Sea ice less than one year old is called first-year ice. Perennial ice is sea ice that survives at least one summer. It may be subdivided into second-year ice and multi-year ice, where multi-year ice has survived at least two summers.</div> </div> <div class="glossary-entry"> <div id="Sea_ice_area"></div>
