In our NSF-funded project “InMotion: Influx of Momentum into the Arctic Ocean – Changes Associated with Sea Ice Reduction” we investigated how the observed thinning and retreat of the sea ice cover affects the amount of wind energy entering the Arctic Ocean. In the Arctic, wind is the dominant drive...
