Drivers of Changing Interannual Variability in Autumn‐Early Winter Arctic Sea Ice (1950–2024)
Geophysical Research LettersArctic sea ice has undergone a pronounced decline over recent decades, yet the drivers of its interannual variability remains unclear. Here we utilize standard deviation to assess long‐term changes in autumn‐early winter (October–December) Arctic sea ice

Hypotheses and tracking results about the longest migration: The case of the arctic tern
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The arctic tern Sterna paradisaea completes the longest known annual return migration on Earth, traveling between breeding sites in the northern arctic and temperate regions and survival/molt areas in the Antarctic pack‐ice zone.

Studies of the Mass Budget of Arctic Pack-Ice Floes [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1965 AbstractThe processes of melting, freezing, precipitation, evaporation and condensation were considered in the computation of the mass budget of an ice floe in the northern Chukchi Sea. It was bound that condensation and evaporation contribute negligible amounts, and that melting accounted for the largest loss from the upper surface of the floe.

The Best Laid Schemes: A Nares Strait Adventure [PDF]
Oceanography, 2011 In 2002, oceanographers began a study of Arctic freshwater export via Nares Strait (Münchow et al., 2006). This 550 km channel separating Greenland from Canada is possibly the longest narrow waterway on Earth.

Summertime ice-nucleating particle concentrations over the Eurasian-Arctic Seas [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsIce nucleating particles (INPs) catalyze primary ice formation in Arctic low-level mixed-phase clouds, influencing their persistence and radiative properties. Knowledge of the abundance, sources, and nature of INPs over the remote Arctic Ocean is scarce,

Key winter habitat of the ivory gull Pagophila eburnea in the Canadian Arctic
Endangered Species Research, 2016 The ivory gull Pagophila eburnea is a rare Arctic seabird that breeds in remote locations; little is known of its winter distribution and behaviour. It is listed under Canadian legislation as ëendangeredí, and as ënear threatenedí by the International ...

Arctic sea ice melt leads to atmospheric new particle formation
Scientific Reports, 2017 Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) and growth significantly influences climate by supplying new seeds for cloud condensation and brightness. Currently, there is a lack of understanding of whether and how marine biota emissions affect aerosol-cloud ...

Melt pond distribution and geometry in high Arctic sea ice derived from aerial investigations
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Aerial photography was conducted in the high Arctic Ocean during a Chinese research expedition in summer 2010. By partitioning the images into three distinct surface categories (sea ice/snow, water and melt ponds), the areal fraction of each category ...

The evolution of light and vertical mixing across a phytoplankton ice-edge bloom
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2019 During summer, phytoplankton can bloom in the Arctic Ocean, both in open water and under ice, often strongly linked to the retreating ice edge. There, the surface ocean responds to steep lateral gradients in ice melt, mixing, and light input, shaping the
