The Arctic sea-ice-scape is rapidly transforming. Increasing light penetration will initiate
earlier seasonal primary production. This earlier growing season may be accompanied by …

Cross shelf-break exchange is limited by the tendency of geostrophic flow to follow
bathymetric contours, not cross them. However, small scale topography, such as canyons …

A previous analysis of published data suggested that annual, pelagic primary production in
the Arctic Ocean is related linearly to the duration of the ice-free period, presumably through …

This review paper integrates the current knowledge, based on available literature, on the
physical and biological conditions of the Amerasian and Eurasian basins (AB, EB) of the …

The first quasi‐annual time series of nutrients and chlorophyll fluorescence in the southeast
Beaufort Sea showed that mixing, whether driven by wind, local convection, or brine …

Continental slopes–steep regions between the shelf break and abyssal ocean–play key
roles in the climatology and ecology of the Arctic Ocean. Here, through review and …

The rapid physical changes affecting the Arctic Ocean alter the growth conditions of primary
producers. In this context, a crucial question is whether these changes will affect the …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean is overwhelmingly forced by its lateral boundaries, and interacts
with, the global system. For the development of nested conceptual models of the Arctic …

The interior shelves of the Arctic Mediterranean are the shelves of the Kara Sea, Laptev Sea,
East Siberian Sea and Beaufort Sea. They comprise approximately 40% of the total arctic …

Arctic Ocean microbial eukaryote phytoplankton form subsurface chlorophyll maximum
(SCM), where much of the annual summer production occurs. This SCM is particularly …
