Short summary
This study identifies the metric of springtime sea-ice surface melt advance in the Laptev Sea and East Siberian Sea, which can be defined on the same date each year and has the potential to be used in the practical seasonal prediction of summer sea ice cover instead of average melt onset. Detailed analysis of dynamic and thermodynamic processes related to different melt advance scenarios in this region imply considerable interannual and interdecadal variability in springtime conditions.
