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.

Predominance of β‐proteobacteria in summer melt pools on Arctic pack ice [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2004 The diversity and community structure of bacteria in melt pools on Arctic pack ice floes were dominated by bproteobacteria. Thirty‐five percent of the pure cultures isolated in 1997 from pack ice floes north of Svalbard and in the Fram Strait were from the β‐proteobacteria group.

Spatial and temporal variability of oceanic heat flux to the Arctic ice pack [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2005 In order to simulate the large‐scale structure and temporal variability of oceanic heat flux (Fw) to the Arctic perennial ice pack, observations of heat in the mixed layer and ice dynamics are compared with parameterizations and climatologies. Long‐term drifting platform observations of seawater temperature and salinity (primarily from automated buoys)

Oxygen fluxes beneath Arctic land-fast ice and pack ice: towards estimates of ice productivity [PDF]
Polar Biology, 2018 Sea-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 ...

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.

On the future navigability of Arctic sea routes: high-resolution projections of the Arctic Ocean and sea ice [PDF]
, 2017 The rapid Arctic summer sea ice reduction in the last decade has lead to debates in the maritime industries on the possibility of an increase in cargo transportation in the region.

Elastic waves in Arctic pack ice
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1954 Elastic wave propagation was studied in the Arctic ice pack, on the Beaufort Sea, the Arctic Ocean, and at near‐shore locations. Ice thicknesses varied from 0.1 to 2.1 meters and water depths from 1 ½ to 3800 meters. Values of the elastic constants were derived from the measured velocities of the longitudinal and shear waves and the density. Dispersive

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.

Arctic Ocean surface geostrophic circulation 2003–2014 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Monitoring the surface circulation of the ice-covered Arctic Ocean is generally limited in space, time or both. We present a new 12-year record of geostrophic currents at monthly resolution in the ice-covered and ice-free Arctic Ocean derived from ...

SASIEv.1: a framework for seasonal and multi-centennial Arctic sea ice emulation [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentThe high computational expense of complex climate models and their tendency to underestimate observational records of Arctic sea ice sensitivity to anthropogenic forcers challenge our ability to assess the magnitude of forcing that will cause Arctic sea ...
