Spatial and Temporal Variations in the Extent and Thickness of Arctic Landfast Ice

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Analyses of landfast ice in Arctic coastal areas provide a comprehensive understanding of the variations in Arctic sea ice and generate data for studies on the utilization of the Arctic passages.

Transition in the fractal geometry of Arctic melt ponds [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2012
During the Arctic melt season, the sea ice surface undergoes a remarkable transformation from vast expanses of snow covered ice to complex mosaics of ice and melt ponds.

Sea-Ice Morphology Change in the Canada Basin Summer: 2006–2015 Ship Observations Compared to Observations From the 1960s to the Early 1990s

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
An ice watch, encompassing visual observation of sea ice conducted from the ship's bridge, is typically performed on sea-ice oriented research cruises.

Estimation Method for Ice load of Managed Ice in an Oblique Condition

open access: yes한국해양공학회지, 2018
Recently, as sea ice in the Arctic has been decreasing due to global warming, it has become easier to develop oil and gas resources buried in the Arctic region.

The summer aerosol in the central Arctic 1991–2008: did it change or not? [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric 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

The number and distribution of polar bears in the western Barents Sea

open access: yesPolar Research, 2017
Polar bears have experienced a rapid loss of sea-ice habitat in the Barents Sea. Monitoring this subpopulation focuses on the effects on polar bear demography.

Improvement of Ice Surface Temperature Retrieval by Integrating Landsat 8/TIRS and Operation IceBridge Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Accurate retrieval of ice surface temperature (IST) over the Arctic ice-water mixture zone (IWMZ) is significantly essential for monitoring the change of the polar sea ice environment.

Oil tanker under ice loadings

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
As a result of global warming, the area of the polar pack ice is diminishing, making merchant travel more practical. Even if Arctic ice thickness reduced in the summer, fractured ice is still presenting operational risks to the future navigation.

Spatial Distribution of Methanesulphonic Acid in the Arctic Aerosol Collected during the Chinese Arctic Research Expedition

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2015
Methanesulphonic acid (MSA, mainly derived from marine biogenic emissions) has been frequently used to estimate the marine biogenic contribution. However, there are few reports on MSA over the Arctic Ocean, especially the central Arctic Ocean.

Sea ice meiofauna distribution on local to pan‐Arctic scales

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Arctic sea ice provides microhabitats for biota that inhabit the liquid‐filled network of brine channels and the ice–water interface. We used meta‐analysis of 23 published and unpublished datasets comprising 721 ice cores to synthesize the variability in
