In this study we concentrate on how the wind field affects the Atlantic inflow (AI) by investigating the connection between interannual variability of North Atlantic wind stress

Mean annual cycle (2005–09) of the main terms of the coupled Arctic energy budget (Arctic Ocean area averages): (a) atmospheric terms, (b) convergence of ocean heat transport and

The observed freshening of the northern North Atlantic Ocean [Curry and Mauritzen, 2005] and the more saline Arctic Ocean [Swift et al., 2005] are likely consequences of this

The Arctic upper ocean and sea ice cover receives net heat input in summer, as shortwave radiation and sensible heat fluxes directly heat the sea ice (including its snow layer),

In the central Arctic Ocean, two additional conditions of sea-ice retreat are important to primary production: the disappearance of sea-ice cover in summer and the regional

[ 1 ] A five-member ensemble with a coupled atmosphere- sea ice-ocean model is used to examine the effects of natural variability on climate projections for the Arctic.. The

We here combine the Russian ice-drift station data with more recent data to (1) identify common sea-ice protists (in particular diatoms) in drifting sea ice of the Central Arctic
