Abstract The Arctic Ocean is a fundamental node in the global hydrological cycle and the
ocean's thermohaline circulation. We here assess the system's key functions and …

The Arctic Ocean's Beaufort Gyre is a dominant feature of the Arctic system, a prominent
indicator of climate change, and possibly a control factor for high-latitude climate. The state …

This chapter assesses the causes of observed changes assessed in Chapters 2 to 5 and
uses understanding of physical processes, climate models and statistical approaches. The …

The sequence of extreme September sea ice extent minima over the past decade suggests
acceleration in the response of the Arctic sea ice cover to external forcing, hastening the …

While the Arctic region has been warming strongly in recent decades, anomalously large
snowfall in recent winters has affected large parts of North America, Europe, and east Asia …

Analysis of a satellite‐derived record of sea ice age for 1980 through March 2011 shows
continued net decrease in multiyear ice coverage in the Arctic Ocean, with particularly …

Toward Quantifying the Increasing Role of Oceanic Heat in Sea Ice Loss in the New Arctic in:
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Volume 96 Issue 12 (2015) Jump to Content …

Increasing global temperatures are having a profound impact in the Arctic, including the
dramatic loss of multiyear sea ice in 2007 that has continued to the present. The majority of …

Abstract Using 21,406 hydrographic profiles from 1979 to 2012, we present the first
observational, pan-Arctic assessment of Mixed Layer (ML) properties, including …

Recent Arctic changes are likely due to coupled Arctic amplification mechanisms with
increased linkage between Arctic climate and sub-Arctic weather. Historically, sea ice grew …
