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.

A Study of the M-2 Tide in the Ice-Covered Arctic Ocean [PDF]
Modeling, Identification and Control, 1981 A model to study M2 tide propagation in the Arctic Ocean based on the equation of motion of the water and the pack ice, is considered. The mechanics of the ice floe interaction is described by the non-linear viscous constitutive loaw.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Halocarbons associated with Arctic sea ice [PDF]
, 2014 Short-lived halocarbons were measured in Arctic sea-ice brine, seawater and air above the Greenland and Norwegian seas (∼81°N, 2 to 5°E) in mid-summer, from a melting ice floe at the edge of the ice pack. In the ice floe, concentrations of C2H5I, 2-C3H7I

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