From the western Arctic Ocean, we present the first continuous and simultaneous ocean water and boundary layer water vapor isotope data. We show that evaporative fractionation of isotopes in the Arctic Ocean can exceed 20‰ for δ18O (delta-O-18) and 160‰ for δ2H (delta deuterium). Greater sea ice mel...
