We document that even under such warmer climate conditions, sea ice existed in the central Arctic Ocean during summer, whereas sea ice was significantly reduced along the Barents Sea continental margin influenced by Atlantic Water inflow. Our proxy reconstruction of the last interglacial sea ice ...

Arctic Ocean Map and Bathymetric ChartThis map illustrates the Arctic Ocean, the names of the "seas" that on the northern borders of the contients, and is a political map of bordering countries. It also shows the Arctic Circle and areas that are sometimes covered with sea ice. ...
The Arctic Ocean is six million square miles, most of it covered in ice. But last month the top of the world was up to 14 degrees above normal, and broke the record for the lowest amount of ice in February -- more than 400,000 square miles short. ...

The number of nematodes, copepods, amphipods, and turbellarians, which were the dominant groups in perennial ice, also declined sharply. The results suggest that the sea ice-upper ocean ecosystem is changing from typically marine to brackish-water. The main reason for these changes is probably ...

Summary The present day Arctic Ocean is characterised by a sea ice cover that is increasingly seasonal in nature. The annual cycle of growth and decay both influences the ocean beneath and is modified by the properties of the surface ocean. The processes that determine the stratification of the...
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 in the eastern Arctic; it is unknown if these ...
