Projections of an ice-free Arctic Ocean

A Jahn, MM Holland, JE Kay - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2024 - nature.com
Observed Arctic sea ice losses are a sentinel of anthropogenic climate change. These
reductions are projected to continue with ongoing warming, ultimately leading to an ice-free …

Exceptional warming over the Barents area

K Isaksen, Ø Nordli, B Ivanov, MAØ Køltzow, S Aaboe… - Scientific reports, 2022 - nature.com
In recent decades, surface air temperature (SAT) data from Global reanalyses points to

Fluctuating Atlantic inflows modulate Arctic atlantification

IV Polyakov, RB Ingvaldsen, AV Pnyushkov, US Bhatt… - Science, 2023 - science.org
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 …

Vertical redistribution of principle water masses on the Northeast Greenland Shelf

Abstract The Northeast Greenland shelf (NEGS) is a recipient of Polar Water (PW) from the
Arctic Ocean, Greenland Ice Sheet melt, and Atlantic Water (AW). Here, we compile …

Ocean warming drives immediate mass loss from calving glaciers in the high Arctic

Ø Foss, J Maton, G Moholdt, LS Schmidt… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Glaciers in the Arctic have lost considerable mass during the last two decades. About a third
of the glaciers by area drains into the ocean, yet the mechanisms and drivers governing …
