Atmospheric control of sea-ice thickness variability in the Amundsen Gulf, Canadian Beaufort Sea, and over the Labrador Shelf
Sea-ice thicknesses observed in Canadian coastal waters with helicopter-borne electromagnetic–laser sensors show large interannual variability caused by atmospheric fluctuations in two years for two areas where surveys were repeated, one in the Amundsen Gulf of the Canadian Beaufort Sea and one over the Labrador Shelf. For the Amundsen Gulf, the bimodal ice thickness peaks shifted by 40 cm to t...

متن کاملObservations on the Behavioral Responses of Bowhead Whales (Balaena mysticetus) to Active Geophysical Vessels in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea
The responses of bowhead whales to controlled approaches by geophysical vessels producing airgun blasts were observed during the course of four field experiments conducted in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea in September 1984. Behavioral responses included shorter surfacing and dive times, fewer blows per surfacing, longer blow intervals and subtle to overt changes in surface behaviors. Subtle behavior...
متن کاملBowhead whale body condition and links to summer sea ice and upwelling in the Beaufort Sea
We examined the response of bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) body condition to summer sea ice conditions and upwelling-favorable winds. We used a long-term dataset collected from whales of the Bering–Chukchi–Beaufort Seas (BCB) stock to estimate various body condition indices (BCI’s) for individual whales that were harvested by Alaskan Eskimos. A series of offshore regions frequented by bowhe...
متن کاملThree-year assessment of particulate organic carbon fluxes in Amundsen Gulf (Beaufort Sea) Satellite observations and sediment trap measurements
Surface concentrations and vertical fluxes of particulate organic carbon (POC) were assessed in the Amundsen Gulf (southeastern Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean) over the years 2004 to 2006 by using ocean color remote-sensing imagery and sequential sediment traps moored over the ca. 400m isobath. Environmental conditions (sea ice, wind) and oceanographic variables (temperature, salinity, fluorescence...
