Sea-ice area variability and trends in Arctic sectors of different morphology, 1996–2015
This study presents a comparison of the sea-ice cover of the whole Arctic Ocean with two arctic sectors of different morphology: the Greenland Sea, as a typical “open sea”, and the Beaufort Sea, as a typical “closed sea”. The study refers to the period January 1996–December 2015 and makes use of the...
