Sympagic Fauna in and Under Arctic Pack Ice in the Annual Sea-Ice System of the New Arctic [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020A 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, 2020The 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 ...

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.

Culturable diversity of Arctic phytoplankton during pack ice melting [PDF]
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2020Massive 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.

The operational determination of wind stress on the Arctic ice pack
, 1977: The performance of routine FNWC sea level pressure analyses and forecasts in the Beaufort Sea is evaluated for driving an ice model. The geostrophic winds determined from the FNWC pressure fields are compared to geostrophic winds determined from the ...

A red tide in the pack ice of the Arctic Ocean [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019AbstractIn the Arctic Ocean ice algae constitute a key ecosystem component and the ice algal spring bloom a critical event in the annual production cycle. The bulk of ice algal biomass is usually found in the bottom few cm of the sea ice and dominated by pennate diatoms attached to the ice matrix.

Low Density of Top Predators (Seabirds and Marine Mammals) in the High Arctic Pack Ice [PDF]
Scientifica, 2016The 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.

The seeding of ice algal blooms in Arctic pack ice: The multiyear ice seed repository hypothesis
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2017During the Norwegian young sea ICE expedition (N‐ICE2015) from January to June 2015 the pack ice in the Arctic Ocean north of Svalbard was studied during four drifts between 83° and 80°N.

Ice-tethered observational platforms in the Arctic Ocean pack ice
IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2016Abstract: The Arctic Ocean faces rapid climate change, which impacts both physical and biological components of the marine ecosystem. Due to complicated and costly logistics inherent to sampling ice-covered areas, most studies conducted in the Arctic are based on relatively short-term sampling (weeks to months) centered around the minimum ice season.

Oxygen fluxes beneath Arctic land-fast ice and pack ice: towards estimates of ice productivity [PDF]
Polar Biology, 2018Sea-ice ecosystems are among the most extensive of Earth’s habitats; yet its autotrophic and heterotrophic activities remain poorly constrained. We employed the in situ aquatic eddy-covariance (AEC) O2 flux method and laboratory incubation techniques (H14CO3−, [3H] thymidine and [3H] leucine) to assess productivity in Arctic sea-ice using different ...
