An Assessment of State-of-the-Art Mean Sea Surface and Geoid Models of the Arctic Ocean: Implications for Sea Ice Freeboard Retrieval [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
State-of-the-art Arctic Ocean mean sea surface (MSS) models and global geoid models (GGMs) are used to support sea ice freeboard estimation from satellite altimeters, as well as in oceanographic studies such as mapping sea level anomalies and mean ...

Arctic sea ice melt leads to atmospheric new particle formation

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Key winter habitat of the ivory gull Pagophila eburnea in the Canadian Arctic

open access: yesEndangered 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 ...

Krav og konsepter for evakuering i arktiske strøk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Operation of manned oil and gas installations in arctic locations is complicated and presents new challenges. One of the challenges is to maintain the safety of the crew, by obtaining adequate lifeboat systems for crew evacuation.

SEASAT views oceans and sea ice with synthetic aperture radar [PDF]

open access: yes
Fifty-one SEASAT synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the oceans and sea ice are presented. Surface and internal waves, the Gulf Stream system and its rings and eddies, the eastern North Pacific, coastal phenomena, bathymetric features, atmospheric ...

Impact of rheology on probabilistic forecasts of sea ice trajectories: application for search and rescue operations in the Arctic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We present a sensitivity analysis and discuss the probabilistic forecast capabilities of the novel sea ice model neXtSIM used in hindcast mode. The study pertains to the response of the model to the uncertainty on winds using probabilistic forecasts of ...

Arctic Cloud Radiative Forcing in Contemporary Atmospheric Reanalyses [PDF]

open access: yes
Arctic clouds play an important role in modifying the surface energy balance. In the Arctic, clouds are thought to influence the underlying sea ice cover through changing downwelling longwave radiative fluxes to the surface and through the selective ...

2017 State-of the Science of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil (DDO) in U.S. Arctic Waters: Physical Transport and Chemical Behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chemical dispersants were employed on an unprecedented scale during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and could be a response option should a large spill occur in Arctic waters. The use of dispersants in response to that spill raised

Late spring bloom development of pelagic diatoms in Baffin Bay

open access: yesElementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2019
The Arctic Ocean is particularly affected by climate change, with changes in sea ice cover expected to impact phytoplankton primary production. During the Green Edge expedition, the development of the late spring–early summer diatom bloom was studied in ...

Sea ice-atmosphere interaction. Application of multispectral satellite data in polar surface energy flux estimates [PDF]

open access: yes
Satellite data for the estimation of radiative and turbulent heat fluxes is becoming an increasingly important tool in large-scale studies of climate. One parameter needed in the estimation of these fluxes is surface temperature. To our knowledge, little
