Salinity-driven density stratification of the upper Arctic Ocean isolates sea-ice cover and cold, nutrient-poor surface waters from underlying warmer, nutrient-rich waters. Recently, stratification has strengthened in the western Arctic but has weakened
Jan Mayen, island, part of the Kingdom of Norway, in the Greenland Sea of the Arctic Ocean, about 300 mi (500 km) east of Greenland. It is approximately 35 mi long and 9 mi across at its widest point, with an area of 144 sq mi (373 sq km). It is the peak of a submarine...
The ocean has deep trenches and also some ridges, the biggest ridge is Lomonosov Ridge which divides the ocean into the Amerasian basin and the Eurasian basin. 5.Arctic Ocean Facts:Icebergsand ice packswill be encountered in the Arctic during any season, but the oceans surface will be covered...
The second winter is of particular interest because it coincides with the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) field program. The character of the deformation of the ice cover from the two years is very different. Over a domain covering a large part of the western Arctic Ocean (...
2.1. Study area The White Sea has a surface area of about 90,000 km2 and receives runoff from a relatively large watershed of 715 000 km2, resulting in the largest ratio of watershed to sea surface area among all marginal seas of the Arctic Ocean (Filatov et al., 2007). The annual ru...
The Arctic is an area located at the northernmost part of the Earth and includes the Arctic Ocean, Canada, Russia, Greenland, the United States, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. It consists of an ice-covered ocean, surrounded by treeless permafrost. The area can be defined as north ...
North Pole; however, the ice was quite thick, and his ship could not move forward. Hence, his team and Nansen moved out to explore the area on skis and sledges. They made scientific observations of the Arctic. Through his initiative, many explorers were inspired to cross the harsh ocean....
The retreat of the Arctic ice edge implies that global ocean surface wave models have to be extended at high latitudes or even to cover the North Pole in the future. The obstacles for conventional latitude-longitude grid wave models to cover the whole Arctic are the polar problems associated ...
