Physical properties of the arctic summer aerosol particles in relation to sources at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard [PDF]
Measurements of the number concentration and size distribution of aerosol particles in the size range of 0.5-20 μm diameter were made with an aerodynamic particle sizer at an Arctic site at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard in August-September 2007 during the ...

The Best Laid Schemes: A Nares Strait Adventure [PDF]
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.

Hypotheses and tracking results about the longest migration: The case of the arctic tern
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.

Cloud and boundary layer interactions over the Arctic sea ice in late summer [PDF]
Observations from the Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS), in the central Arctic sea-ice pack in late summer 2008, provide a detailed view of cloud- atmosphere-surface interactions and vertical mixing processes over the sea-ice environment ...

Size-resolved atmospheric particulate polysaccharides in the high summer Arctic [PDF]
Size-resolved aerosol samples for subsequent quantitative determination of polymer sugars (polysaccharides) after hydrolysis to their subunit monomers (monosaccharides) were collected in surface air over the central Arctic Ocean during the biologically ...

The Impact of the Extreme Winter 2015/16 Arctic Cyclone on the Barents-Kara Seas [PDF]
Atmospheric data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) were used to study an extreme warm and humid air mass transported over the Barents–Kara Seas region by an Arctic cyclone at the end of December 2015. Temperature and humidity in the region was

Melt pond distribution and geometry in high Arctic sea ice derived from aerial investigations
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 ...

Can marine micro‐organisms influence melting of the Arctic pack ice? [PDF]
The Arctic Ocean Expedition of 2001 (AOE‐2001) to the central Arctic, mostly north of latitude 85°N, was conducted to study marine life forms and their products in water and ice, how their products may get into the air, the evolution of the particles produced, and their growth up to sizes large enough for activation into clouds.

The evolution of light and vertical mixing across a phytoplankton ice-edge bloom
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
