The Rapid Response of the Canada Basin to Climate Forcing: From Bellwether to Alarm Bells
Sea ice extent in the Arctic Ocean diminished significantly during the first decade of the 2000s, most particularly in the Canada Basin where the loss of both multiyear and first-year ice was greater than in the other three subbasins. Using data collected during basin-wide surveys conducted from 200...
