Future sea ice weakening amplifies wind-driven trends in surface stress and Arctic Ocean spin-up [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsArctic sea ice mediates atmosphere-ocean momentum transfer, which drives upper ocean circulation. How Arctic Ocean surface stress and velocity respond to sea ice decline and changing winds under global warming is unclear.

Multiscale mushy layer model for Arctic marginal ice zone dynamics [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPerhaps the most dynamic component of the Arctic sea ice cover is the marginal ice zone (MIZ), the transitional region between dense pack ice to the north and open ocean to the south.

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.

Potential source regions and processes of aerosol in the summer Arctic [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015 Sub-micrometer particle size distributions measured during four summer cruises of the Swedish icebreaker Oden 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2008 were combined with dimethyl sulfide gas data, back trajectories, and daily maps of pack ice cover in order to ...

Atmospheric highs drive asymmetric sea ice drift during lead opening from Point Barrow [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Throughout winter, the winds of migrating weather systems drive the recurrent opening of sea ice leads from Alaska's northernmost headland, Point Barrow.

A Study of the M-2 Tide in the Ice-Covered Arctic Ocean [PDF]
Modeling, Identification and Control, 1981 A model to study M2 tide propagation in the Arctic Ocean based on the equation of motion of the water and the pack ice, is considered. The mechanics of the ice floe interaction is described by the non-linear viscous constitutive loaw.

Variability and changes of Arctic sea ice draft distribution – submarine sonar measurements revisited [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2011 Changes in the mean sea ice thickness and concentration in the Arctic are well known. However, quantitative information about changes in the ice thickness distribution and the composition of the pack ice is lacking.

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.

Past and future interannual variability in Arctic sea ice in coupled climate models [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 The diminishing Arctic sea ice pack has been widely studied, but previous research has mostly focused on time-mean changes in sea ice rather than on short-term variations that also have important physical and societal consequences.

Climate change and ice hazards in the Beaufort Sea
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2014 Recent reductions in the summer extent of sea ice have focused the world’s attention on the effects of climate change. Increased CO2-derived global warming is rapidly shrinking the Arctic multi-year ice pack.
