The sea-ice compactness in the Greenland and Barents Seas during 1979-2003: changes and links to the surface air flow

ABSTRACT. Annual and winter (December- April , corresponding to a gain of 30% and a loss of 67% relative to the 25 year mean, respectively. The changing surface wind pattern analyzed from ERA-40 data favours this increasing (decreasing) ice compactness in the GS (BS).
