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 …

Arctic sea ice has declined precipitously in both extent and thickness over the past four
decades; by contrast, Antarctic sea ice has shown little overall change, but this masks large …

Enhanced warm, salty subarctic inflows drive high-latitude atlantification, which weakens
oceanic stratification, amplifies heat fluxes, and reduces sea ice. In this work, we show that …

A temperature and salinity hydrographic profile climatology is assembled, evaluated for data
quality, and analyzed to assess changes of the Bering and Chukchi Sea continental shelves …

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

This model study examines the impact of an intense early August cyclone on the 2012
record low Arctic sea ice extent. The cyclone passed when Arctic sea ice was thin and the …

Over the decade 2004–2013 environmental changes in the Pacific sector of the Arctic have
been dramatic enough to suggest that a 'new normal'climate is emerging. The clearest …

Seawater chromium (Cr) isotope and concentration data are presented from multiple sites in
the Arctic Ocean, and three locations in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. A 2400-m profile …

Time series (1990–2011) of sea ice thickness observed by moored sonars in the Transpolar
Drift in Fram Strait are examined. Contrasting the post‐2007 years against the 1990s, three …
