Arctic Ocean Ice Thickness: Modes of Variability and the Best Locations from Which to Monitor Them*
Model simulations of Arctic sea ice and ocean systems are used to determine the major spatial and temporal modes of variability in the ice thickness. A coupled ice–ocean model is forced with daily NCEP– NCAR reanalysis surface air pressure and surface air temperature fields for the period 1951–2003 with the analysis of the results performed for the 51-yr period 1953–2003. Ice concentration data...
متن کاملIce-Tethered Profiler Measurements of Dissolved Oxygen under Permanent Ice Cover in the Arctic Ocean
Four ice-tethered profilers (ITPs), deployed between 2006 and 2009, have provided year-round dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements from the surface mixed layer to 760-m depth under the permanent sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean. These ITPs drifted with the permanent ice pack and returned 2 one-way profiles per day of temperature, salinity, and DO. Long-term calibration drift of the oxygen sensor ...
متن کاملAtmospheric deposition of current use pesticides in the Arctic: snow core records from the Devon Island Ice Cap, Nunavut, Canada.
Current use pesticides (CUPs) have been detected in the Arctic, even though there are no direct sources and their long range atmospheric transport potential is generally lower than that of legacy pesticides. Data on the deposition of CUPs in the Arctic are required to assess the impact of their global usage and emission. In this study, selected CUPs were measured in the layers of a snow pit sam...
متن کاملIndirect measurements of the mass balance of summer Arctic sea ice with an electromagnetic induction technique
In the framework of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) study indirect, non-invasive ice mass-balance measurements were carried out at a drifting station in the northern Chukchi Sea between May and August of 1998. Ice thickness was derived from electromagnetic-induction (EM) measurements of apparent conductivity along 13 profiles (60 to 900 m long). As shown through sensitivity ...
متن کاملVariability in ice motion and dynamic discharge from Devon Ice Cap, Nunavut, Canada
Feature tracking of approximately annually separated Landsat-7 ETM+ imagery acquired from 1999 to 2010 and speckle tracking of 24-day separated RADARSAT-2 imagery acquired from 2009 to 2015 reveal that motion of the major tidewater glaciers of Devon Ice Cap is more variable than previously described. The flow of almost half (six of 14) of the outlet glaciers slowed over the observation period, ...
