What do you think sits on top of sea ice and causes the resulting albedo effect, helping the ice not melt as quickly, sustaining it and allowing it to build, etc.. ?
What function do you think having more snow on top of pack ice would have?
Do you think maybe snow plays an important role in the thermal balance of sea ice?
Do you think flooded sea ice turns snow to ice...
Here lets let NASA explain it to you:
