As assessed over the period of satellite observations, October 1978 to present, there are
downward linear trends in Arctic sea ice extent for all months, largest at the end of the melt …

The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and
systematic reference information on the physical and biogeochemical ocean and sea-ice …

Skillful sea ice forecasts from days to years ahead are becoming increasingly important for
the operation and planning of human activities in the Arctic. Here we analyze the potential …

This paper presents a wave‐in‐ice model calibration study. Data used were collected in the
thin ice of the advancing autumn marginal ice zone of the western Arctic Ocean in 2015 …

Timely observations of sea ice thickness help us to understand the Arctic climate, and have
the potential to support seasonal forecasts and operational activities in the polar regions …

The role of synoptic-scale cyclones in the trends and variability of Arctic sea ice conditions
has remained uncertain. In recognition, we conduct a systematic investigation of how sea …

Accurately forecasting the sea-ice thickness (SIT) in the Arctic is a major challenge. The new
SIT product (referred to as CS2SMOS) merges measurements from the CryoSat-2 and …

The accuracy of the initial state is very important for the quality of a forecast, and data
assimilation is crucial for obtaining the best-possible initial state. For many years, sea-ice …

In this study the forecast skill of the US Navy operational Arctic sea ice forecast system, the
Arctic Cap Nowcast/Forecast System (ACNFS), is presented for the period February 2014 to …

Observations of ocean surface waves at three sites along the northern coast of Alaska show
a strong correlation with seasonal sea ice patterns. In the winter, ice cover is complete, and …
