Changes in cross sections of grease ice ridges, 28th December 2010 – 15th January 2011 (a-c), the shore in Międzyzdroje area. The vertical zero reference level with regard to Figure 3 was respectively: 507 (+7 cm, a), 503 (+3 cm, b) and 519 (+19 cm, c) in Świnoujście. This information is given in the caption of Figure 3.
