HOME is an icebreaker--at least for a few of us frozen into the Arctic Ocean aboard the Canadiar Coast Guard ship Des Groseilliers. We are here as an ancillary part of SHEBA (Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean), the largest project that the United States National Science Foundation has funded in the Arctic to date. Associated with this primary driving force is JOIS (Joint Ocean Ice Study), an integrated science project working on the biology of the Arctic Ocean. The SHEBA head ...

Variability of the Intermediate Atlantic Water of the Arctic Ocean over the Last 100 Years
Journal of Climate ; ABSTRACT Recent observations show dramatic changes of the Arctic atmosphere-ice-ocean system, including a rapid warming in the intermediate Atlantic water of the Arctic Ocean. Here it is demonstrated through the analysis of a vast collection of previously unsynthesized observational data, that over

The Summer Cyclone Maximum over the Central Arctic Ocean
Journal of Climate ; ABSTRACT A fascinating feature of the northern high-latitude circulation is a prominent summer maximum in cyclone activity over the Arctic Ocean, centered near the North Pole in the long-term mean. This pattern is associated with the influx of lows generated over the Eurasian continent and

PHC: A global ocean hydrography with a high-quality Arctic Ocean
Journal of Climate ; ABSTRACT A new gridded ocean climatology, the Polar Science Center Hydrographic Climatology (PHC), has been created that merges the 1998 version of the World Ocean Atlas with the new regional Arctic Ocean Atlas. The result is a global climatology for temperature and salinity that contains a good
Simulated Arctic Ocean Freshwater Budgets in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries
Journal of Climate ; ABSTRACT The Arctic Ocean freshwater budgets in climate model integrations of the twentieth and twenty-first century are examined. An ensemble of six members of the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) is used for the analysis, allowing the anthropogenically forced trends over the
