We investigate the freshwater composition of the shelf and slope of the Arctic Ocean north of the New Siberian Islands using geochemical tracer data (delta O-18, Ba, and PO4*) collected following the extreme summer of 2007. We find that the anomalous wind patterns that partly explained the sea ice m...
