Based on a regional ice-ocean model, we simulated the state of the water masses of the Arctic Ocean to analyze the transport of dissolved methane on the Arctic shelves. From 1970 to 2019, we obtained estimates of methane emissions at the Arctic seas due to the degradation of submarine permafrost and...
