Low density of top predators (seabirds and marine mammals) in the high Arctic pack ice [PDF]
, 2016 The at-sea distribution of top predators, seabirds and marine mammals, was determined in the high Arctic pack ice on board the icebreaker RV Polarstern in July to September 2014. In total, 1,620 transect counts were realised, lasting 30 min each.

Taking stock of arctic sea ice and climate [PDF]
, 2009 The relationship among the cause-and-effect of the Arctic atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean is discussed. The increased vulnerability of the Arctic system to anomalous atmospheric forcing can be argued from the perspective that recent ice loss is the result

Cloud and boundary layer interactions over the Arctic sea ice in late summer [PDF]
, 2013 Observations from the Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS), in the central Arctic sea-ice pack in late summer 2008, provide a detailed view of cloud- atmosphere-surface interactions and vertical mixing processes over the sea-ice environment ...

Study of the impact of ice formation in leads upon the sea ice pack mass balance using a new frazil and grease ice parameterisation [PDF]
, 2015 Leads are cracks in sea ice that often form due to deformation. During winter months leads expose the ocean to the cold atmosphere resulting in supercooling and the formation of frazil ice crystals within the mixed layer.

Impact of rheology on probabilistic forecasts of sea ice trajectories: application for search and rescue operations in the Arctic [PDF]
, 2018 We present a sensitivity analysis and discuss the probabilistic forecast capabilities of the novel sea ice model neXtSIM used in hindcast mode. The study pertains to the response of the model to the uncertainty on winds using probabilistic forecasts of ...
