Significant variability of structure and predictability of Arctic Ocean surface pathways affects basin-wide connectivity

The Transpolar Drift, which governs the transport of freshwater, nutrients, carbon and contaminants across the Arctic Ocean, varies interannually, and is affected by fine-scale flow structures and processes, according to high-resolution simulations and satellite data.
