The decline in the floating sea ice cover in the Arctic is one of the most striking
manifestations of climate change. In this review, we examine this ongoing loss of Arctic sea …

Climate tip** elements are large-scale subsystems of the Earth that may transgress critical
thresholds (tip** points) under ongoing global warming, with substantial impacts on the …

This chapter assesses simulations of future global climate change, spanning time horizons
from the near term (2021–2040), mid-term (2041–2060), and long term (2081–2100) out to …

The Arctic has warmed dramatically in recent decades, with greatest temperature increases
observed in the northern Barents Sea. The warming signatures are not constrained to the …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean is currently on a fast track toward seasonally ice-free conditions.
Although most attention has been on the accelerating summer sea ice decline, large …

During recent decades Arctic sea ice variability and retreat during winter have largely been
a result of variable ocean heat transport (OHT). Here we use the Community Earth System …

Abstract Barents Sea Water (BSW) is formed from Atlantic Water that is cooled through
atmospheric heat loss and freshened through seasonal sea ice melt. In the eastern Barents …

Temporal and spatial dynamics of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Barents Sea have
been investigated during the last three decades using remote sensing and in situ …

Arctic winter sea ice loss is most pronounced in the Barents Sea. Here we combine
observations since 1850 with climate model simulations to examine the recent record low …

Dense water masses from the Barents Sea are an important part of the Arctic thermohaline
system. Here, using hydrographic observations from 1971 to 2018, we show that the Barents …
