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.

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.

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.

Impact of Variable Atmospheric and Oceanic Form Drag on Simulations of Arctic Sea Ice [PDF]
, 2014 Over Arctic sea ice, pressure ridges and floe and melt pond edges all introduce discrete obstructions to the flow of air or water past the ice and are a source of form drag.

Glaciochemical evidence of spatial and temporal environmental variability across Svalbard [PDF]
, 2012 Huippuvuorten lakijäätiköiltä kairatut jäänäytteet ovat osoittautuneet hyödyllisiksi arkistoiksi, jotka kattavat useita vuosisatoja ja kertovat Barentsin alueen paleoympäristöstä sekä alueen ilmaston kytköksistä Euroopan arktisiin alueisiin.

Improving the spatial distribution of modeled Arctic sea ice thickness [PDF]
, 2005 The spatial distribution of ice thickness/draft in the Arctic Ocean is examined using a sea ice model. A comparison of model predictions with submarine observations of sea ice draft made during cruises between 1987 and 1997 reveals that the model has the

A Submarine Sonar Study of Arctic Pack Ice [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1975 AbstractA continuous profile of the Arctic Ocean ice canopy from Spitsbergen to the North Pole was made with 48 kHz echo sounders mourned on a nuclear submarine. A semi-automatic digitizer was used to measure coordinates from the records at a frequency of about 1 000 points per linear kilometre of track.

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.

The progress in the study of Arctic pack ice ecology [PDF]
, 2004 The sea ice community plays an important role in the Arctic marine ecosystem. Because of the predicted environmental changes in the Arctic environment and specifically related to sea ice, the Arctic pack ice biota has received more attention in recent ...
