Ice-tethered observational platforms in the Arctic Ocean pack ice

open access: diamondIFAC-PapersOnLine, 2016
Abstract: 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.

On the future navigability of Arctic sea routes: high-resolution projections of the Arctic Ocean and sea ice [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Climate change and ice hazards in the Beaufort Sea

open access: yesElementa: 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.

SASIEv.1: a framework for seasonal and multi-centennial Arctic sea ice emulation [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development
The 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 ...

Atmospheric conditions during the Arctic Clouds in Summer Experiment (ACSE): Contrasting open-water and sea-ice surfaces during melt and freeze-up seasons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Arctic Clouds in Summer Experiment (ACSE) was conducted during summer and early autumn 2014, providing a detailed view of the seasonal transition from ice melt into freeze-up.

Toward a marginal Arctic sea ice cover: changes to freezing, melting and dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
As the summer Arctic sea ice extent has retreated, the marginal ice zone (MIZ) has been widening. The MIZ is defined as the region of the ice cover that is influenced by waves and for convenience here is defined as the region of the ice cover between sea

Arctic Ocean surface geostrophic circulation 2003–2014 [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Taking stock of arctic sea ice and climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The relationship among the cause-and-effect of the Arctic atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean is discussed. The increased vulnerability of the Arctic system to anomalous atmospheric forcing can be argued from the perspective that recent ice loss is the result

sea-ice arching and multiple flow States of Arctic pack ice [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2006
AbstractFlow of ice through narrow channels is Significantly affected by the amount of Shear Strength in plastic rheologies used in Sea-ice models as well as in reality. When thermodynamics is added to this problem, the capability of multiple flow States for the Same forcing through narrow passages arises.
