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

The Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS): overview and experimental design [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014
The climate in the Arctic is changing faster than anywhere else on earth. Poorly understood feedback processes relating to Arctic clouds and aerosol–cloud interactions contribute to a poor understanding of the present changes in the Arctic climate system,

Study of the impact of ice formation in leads upon the sea ice pack mass balance using a new frazil and grease ice parameterisation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Leads are cracks in sea ice that often form due to deformation. During winter months leads expose the ocean to the cold atmosphere resulting in supercooling and the formation of frazil ice crystals within the mixed layer.

Ice-tethered observational platforms in the Arctic Ocean pack ice

open access: yesIFAC-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.

A red tide in the pack ice of the Arctic Ocean [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
AbstractIn the Arctic Ocean ice algae constitute a key ecosystem component and the ice algal spring bloom a critical event in the annual production cycle. The bulk of ice algal biomass is usually found in the bottom few cm of the sea ice and dominated by pennate diatoms attached to the ice matrix.

Arctic marginal ice zone interannual variability and change point detection using two definitions (1983–2022)

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2023
The ongoing decline in Arctic sea ice extent and thickness underscores the scientific significance of monitoring the marginal ice zone (MIZ), a transitional region between the open ocean and pack ice.

Transitions of social-ecological subsistence systems in the Arctic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Transitions of social-ecological systems (SES) expose governance systems to new challenges. This is particularly so in the Arctic where resource systems are increasingly subjected to global warming, industrial development and globalization which ...

Assessing the representation of Arctic sea ice and the marginal ice zone in ocean–sea ice reanalyses [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
The recent development of data-assimilating reanalyses of the global ocean and sea ice enables a better understanding of the polar region dynamics and provides gridded descriptions of sea ice variables without temporal and spatial gaps.

Temporal Variability of the Energy Balance of Thick Arctic Pack Ice [PDF]

open access: bronzeJournal of Climate, 1998
Abstract The temporal variability of the six terms of the energy balance equation for a slab of ice 3 m thick is calculated based on 45 yr of surface meteorological observations from the drifting ice stations of the former Soviet Union. The equation includes net radiation, sensible heat flux, latent heat flux, bottom heat flux, heat storage, and energy

Vertical profiling of aerosol particles and trace gases over the central Arctic Ocean during summer [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013
Unique measurements of vertical size-resolved aerosol particle concentrations, trace gas concentrations and meteorological data were obtained during the Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS, www.ascos.se), an International Polar Year project aimed at ...
