Deterioration of perennial sea ice in the Beaufort Gyre from 2003 to 2012 and its impact on the oceanic freshwater cycle
R. Krishfield,Andrey Proshutinsky,Kazutaka Tateyama,William J. Williams,Eddy C. Carmack,Fiona A. McLaughlin,Mary-Louise Timmermans +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a time series of ice draft from 2003 to 2012 from moored sonar data are used to investigate variability and describe the reduction of the perennial sea ice cover in the Beaufort Gyre (BG), culminating in the extreme minimum in 2012.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first baroclinic Rossby deformation radius Rd has been calculated using ITP data coupled with climatology; Rd ∼ 13 km in the Canadian water and ∼8 km in Eurasian water.

Secular sea level change in the Russian sector of the Arctic Ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on an attempt to provide first-order answers to two questions, namely, what is the rate of sea level change in the Arctic Ocean, and furthermore, what are the role of each of the individual contributing factors to observed Arctic Ocean sea level changes?
Atmospheric forcing validation for modeling the central Arctic
Alexander Makshtas,David E. Atkinson,M. Kulakov,S. Shutilin,R. Krishfield,Andrey Proshutinsky +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare daily data from the National Center for Atmospheric Research and National Centers for Environmental Prediction Reanalysis 1 project with observational data obtained from the North Pole drifting stations in order to validate the atmospheric forcing data used in coupled ice-ocean models.
