Coastal Polynyas

Coastal Polynyas is a recurrent, ice-free oceanic area adjacent to polar coastlines or fast ice boundaries, distinguished from other open-water regions by its persistent formation through wind-driven or current-driven divergence that prevents sea ice consolidation despite subfreezing atmospheric conditions.
