Abstract: This study uses an extensive dataset of monthly surface air temperature (SAT) records (including previously unutilized) from high-latitude (>60°N) meteorological land stations. Most records have been updated by very recent ...

Abstract: his analysis evaluates the thermal state of the intermediate (depth range of 150?900 m) Atlantic Water (AW) of the Arctic Ocean, beginning in the 1950s and with particular focus on the transition from the 1990s to the 2000s ...

Abstract: 1-yr (2009/10) record of temperature and salinity profiles from Ice-Tethered Profiler (ITP) buoys in the Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to quantify the flux of heat from the upper pycnocline to the surface ...

Abstract: The diffusive layering (DL) form of double-diffusive convection cools the Atlantic Water (AW) as it circulates around the Arctic Ocean. Large DL steps, with heights of homogeneous layers often greater than 10 m, have been ...

Abstract: yearlong time series from mooring-based high-resolution profiles of water temperature and salinity from the Laptev Sea slope (2003?04; 2686-m depth; 78°26?N, 125°37?E) shows six remarkably persistent staircase layers in ...

Abstract: Arctic atmospheric variability during the industrial era (1875?2000) is assessed using spatially averaged surface air temperature (SAT) and sea level pressure (SLP) records. Air temperature and pressure display strong ...

Abstract: Examination of records of fast ice thickness (1936?2000) and ice extent (1900?2000) in the Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, and Chukchi Seas provide evidence that long-term ice thickness and extent trends are small and generally ...
