The growth of phytoplankton at high latitudes was generally thought to begin in open waters
of the marginal ice zone once the highly reflective sea ice retreats in spring, solar elevation …

Dramatic declines in sea-ice cover in the Arctic Ocean in recent decades have the potential
to fundamentally alter marine ecosystems. Here we investigate changes in sea ice between …

A satellite‐based study was conducted to document daily changes in net primary production
(NPP) by phytoplankton in the Arctic Ocean from 1998 to 2009 using fields of sea ice extent …

The Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas are among the marine regions most affected by
climate change. Here we present the results of a diagnostic model used to assess the …

SPE-DOM The fraction of DOM isolated using solid-phase extraction (SPE). Varian Bond
Elut (PPL) adsorbers are commonly used and isolate $60% of DOC. UDOM Ultrafiltered …

We investigated 32 net primary productivity (NPP) models by assessing skills to reproduce
integrated NPP in the Arctic Ocean. The models were provided with two sources each of …

Predicting water-column phytoplankton biomass from near-surface measurements is a
common approach in biological oceanography, particularly since the advent of satellite …

Extensive data exist on the optical properties of CDOM from terrestrial and coastal
environments, yet the open oceans have been historically under-sampled. Consequently …

Simple Summary Phytoplankton and other algae form the bases of food webs in aquatic
systems as they convert solar energy into chemical compounds that are consumed by the …

Abstract As the Arctic Ocean (AO) is increasingly altered by anthropogenic climate change, it
is critical that we accurately assess ongoing changes in its capacity to support marine life …
