The Arctic has undergone dramatic change during the past decade. The observed changes
include atmospheric sea-level pressure, wind fields, sea-ice drift, ice cover, length of melt …

Large quantities of methane are stored in hydrates and permafrost within shallow marine
sediments in the Arctic Ocean. These reservoirs are highly sensitive to climate warming, but …

Hydrographic data collected from research cruises, bottom‐anchored moorings, drifting Ice‐
Tethered Profilers, and satellite altimetry in the Beaufort Gyre region of the Arctic Ocean …

This second edition brings this definitive book completely up to date with the many advances
in our understanding of Arctic climate since the first edition was published in 2005. The book …

Preface the basins of the Arctic Ocean and to present these data in common or parallel
formats. A coherent picture of sediment and organic carbon inputs from the ocean's margins …

We present estimates of volume and heat transport through Fram Strait for the period 1997
to 2000 from data of moored instruments. The annual mean volume transports at 78° 55′ N …

Satellite passive microwave observations document an overall downward trend in Arctic sea
ice extent and area since 1978. While the record minimum observed in September 2002 …

As the world warms, the expectation is that the freshwater outflows from the Arctic Ocean to
the North Atlantic will strengthen and may act to suppress the rate of the climatically …

En este libro trato de ordenar en una sucesión cronológica los cambios climáticos más
significativos que han ocurrido en la Tierra desde sus orígenes hasta hoy mismo. Puede …
