These unique oceanographic phenomena play a crucial role in the Earth's climate system, marine ecosystems, and global ocean circulation. Polynyas can form due to various processes, including wind-driven ice movement and heat fluxes from the ocean to the atmosphere. They are significant for their impact on sea ice dynamics, biological productivity, and as sites fo..."
