We used a sea ice concentration threshold value of 40% to define the time window for navigating through the Arctic Northeast Passage (NEP). In addition, for the year when the navigation time of the NEP is relatively abnormal, we combined with wind field, temperature, temperature anomaly, sea...
The aims of the study are two-fold: firstly, to examine the navigability of the Arctic sea routes using a realistic high-resolution detailed future projection of ocean and sea ice conditions, and, secondly, to discuss requirements for sea ice and ocean forecasting models in the changing Arctic...
Vilkitsky Strait is an important part of the Northeast Passage in the Arctic ocean. Spatio-temporal patterns of sea ice and navigability of the Vilkitsky Strait were analyzed using sea ice concentration data spanning from 2002 to2013. The results indicated that sea ice conditions in Vilkitsky ...
In the context of global warming, the Arctic sea ice is rapidly receding, and the possibility of navigating the Arctic shipping route continues to increase. Here we combine climate and ship navigability data and use low and medium emission scenarios to a
Long-term observational studies conclude that sea ice has declined across the Canadian Arctic and this may increase ship navigability in many regions of the Northwest Passage31,32. Indeed, the northern route of the NWP became almost completely ice-free for the first time in human memory during ...

They found that sea ice has decreased significantly over the past four decades, making the Arctic Ocean more accessible for shipping. However, navigability is still limited by sea ice, and the potential for year-round shipping remains uncertain. The North Atlantic Sailing Route has seen an ...
Winter cyclone wind field responding to high-index AO enhances the divergence of ice in the eastern Arctic (Rigor et al., 2002). These processes result in more open water, thin ice or leads, leading to decreased surface albedo and increased heat flux into the sea (Lei et al., 2016; ...
Hydropower installations with water wheels, ponds, diversion channels and dams had a significant impact on sediment flux, flow rate, water temperature, groundwater tables and fish migration, as well as navigability [10,36,43,52,162]. In the early medieval period, vertical undershot constructions ...
POLARIS was developed by integrating multiple methodologies including the Arctic Ice Regime Shipping System of Canada, the Russian Ice Certificate, and the Rules of Navigation on the water area of the Northern Sea Route [12]. POLARIS utilizes the Risk Index Outcome (RIO) values to limit ship’s...
