Arctic amplification (AA) is a coupled atmosphere-sea ice-ocean process. This
understanding has evolved from the early concept of AA, as a consequence of snow-ice line …

The Arctic has undergone dramatic change during the past decade. The observed changes
include atmospheric sea-level pressure, wind fields, sea-ice drift, ice cover, length of melt …

Data collected by the International Arctic Buoy Programme from 1979 to 1998 are analyzed
to obtain statistics of sea level pressure (SLP) and sea ice motion (SIM). The annual and …

A parallel ocean and ice model (POIM) in generalized orthogonal curvilinear coordinates
has been developed for global climate studies. The POIM couples the Parallel Ocean …

Possible future changes in Arctic sea ice cover and thickness, and consequent changes in
the ice-albedo feedback, represent one of the largest uncertainties in the prediction of future …

Sea-ice thickness on a global scale is derived from different satellite sensors using
independent retrieval methods. Due to the sensor and orbit characteristics, such satellite …

Using buoy data from the International Arctic Buoy Program, we found that the sea ice mean
speed has substantially increased over the last 29 years (+ 17% per decade for winter and+ …

This second edition brings this definitive book completely up to date with the many advances
in our understanding of Arctic climate since the first edition was published in 2005. The book …

Ocean temperature profiles and satellite data have been analyzed for summertime sea
surface temperature (SST) and upper ocean heat content variations over the past century …

The North Atlantic Oscillation is the dominant mode of atmospheric variability in the North
Atlantic Sector. Basin scale changes in the atmospheric forcing significantly affect the …
