| Summary: | The primary objective of the research was to synthesize output from state-of-the-art climate models in order to provide projections of 21st-century changes in Arctic sea ice, wind and other variables that affect marine operations in the Arctic. The scenarios of sea ice coverage and storm events obtained here can ultimately be used in downscaling applications relevant to high-wave events, vessel-icing conditions and ocean mixing. Changes in these conditions will have impacts on military operations, commercial activity, and marine organisms in the Arctic. The original document contains color images. |
