Sympagic Fauna in and Under Arctic Pack Ice in the Annual Sea-Ice System of the New Arctic [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 A strong decline and thinning of the Arctic sea-ice cover over the past five decades has been documented. The former multiyear sea-ice system has largely changed to an annual system and with it the dynamics of sea-ice transport across the Arctic Ocean ...

Platelet Ice under Arctic Pack Ice in Winter [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Abstract The formation of platelet ice is well known to occur under Antarctic sea ice, where subice platelet layers form from supercooled ice shelf water. In the Arctic, however, platelet ice formation has not been extensively observed, and its formation and morphology currently remain enigmatic.

Status and trends in the structure of Arctic benthic food webs [PDF]
Polar Research, 2015 Ongoing climate warming is causing a dramatic loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, and it is projected that the Arctic Ocean will become seasonally ice-free by 2040.

Low Density of Top Predators (Seabirds and Marine Mammals) in the High Arctic Pack Ice [PDF]
Scientifica, 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.

Winter sea ice export from the Laptev Sea preconditions the local summer sea ice cover and fast ice decay [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Ice retreat in the eastern Eurasian Arctic is a consequence of atmospheric and oceanic processes and regional feedback mechanisms acting on the ice cover, both in winter and summer.

The summer aerosol in the central Arctic 1991–2008: did it change or not? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 In the course of global warming dramatic changes are taking place in the Arctic and boreal environments. However, physical aerosol data in from the central summer Arctic taken over the course of 18 yr from 1991 to 2008 do not show systematic year-to-year

Culturable diversity of Arctic phytoplankton during pack ice melting [PDF]
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2020 Massive phytoplankton blooms develop at the Arctic ice edge, sometimes extending far under the pack ice. An extensive culturing effort was conducted before and during a phytoplankton bloom in Baffin Bay between April and July 2016.

Scaling aspects of the sea-ice-drift dynamics and pack fracture [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2007 A study of the sea-ice dynamics in the periods of time prior to and during the cycles of basin-wide fragmentation of the ice cover in the Arctic Ocean is presented. The fractal geometry of the ice-sheets limited by leads and ridges was assessed using the

Wave–sea-ice interactions in a brittle rheological framework [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 As sea ice extent decreases in the Arctic, surface ocean waves have more time and space to develop and grow, exposing the marginal ice zone (MIZ) to more frequent and more energetic wave events.
