Environmental impact assessments of scientific fieldwork as a path to sustainability
Polar environments are increasingly important to study as they are some of the regions most dramatically impacted by climate change. However, large field campaigns in these remote and sensitive regions may have impacts on both the local environment they aim to study and the global climate. Understanding the impact of such activities is necessary to weigh the costs and benefits and minimize negative impacts. This study provides the first example o…
Melt pond CO2 dynamics and fluxes with the atmosphere in the central Arctic Ocean during the summer-to-autumn transition
Melt ponds are a common feature of the Arctic sea-ice environment during summer, and they play an important role in the exchange of heat and water vapor between the ocean and the atmosphere. We report the results of a time-series study of the CO2 dynamics within melt ponds (and nearby lead) and related fluxes with the atmosphere during the summer-to-autumn transition in the central Arctic Ocean during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory fo…
The Eurasian Arctic Ocean along the MosaiC drift in 2019–2020
The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC, 2019–2020), a year-long drift with the Arctic sea ice, has provided the scientific community with an unprecedented, multidisciplinary dataset from the Eurasian Arctic Ocean, covering high atmosphere to deep ocean across all seasons. However, the heterogeneity of data and the superposition of spatial and temporal variability, intrinsic to a drift campaign, complica…
Overview of the MosaiC expedition
The international and interdisciplinary sea-ice drift expedition “The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate” (MOSAiC) was conducted from October 2019 to September 2020. The aim of MOSAiC was to study the interconnected physical, chemical, and biological characteristics and processes from the atmosphere to the deep sea of the central Arctic system. The ecosystem team addressed current knowledge gaps and explored un…
An analysis of air-sea gas exchange for the entire MosaiC Arctic drift
Sea ice cover influences the generation of surface ocean turbulence in ways that sometimes enhance, but mostly inhibit air-water gas exchange. Inhibition happens as ice cover reduces wind fetch, enhancement occurs when haline convection or sea ice drift creates additional surface turbulence. We used the bulk turbulence relationships within the Wave Age Gas Transfer model to estimate air-sea gas transfer velocity (kWAGT), based on sea ice cover an…
Thin and transient meltwater layers and false bottoms in the Arctic sea ice pack—Recent insights on these historically overlooked features
The rapid melt of snow and sea ice during the Arctic summer provides a significant source of low-salinity meltwater to the surface ocean on the local scale. The accumulation of this meltwater on, under, and around sea ice floes can result in relatively thin meltwater layers in the upper ocean. Due to the small-scale nature of these upper-ocean features, typically on the order of 1 m thick or less, they are rarely detected by standard methods, but…
Meltwater layer dynamics in a central Arctic lead
Leads play an important role in the exchange of heat, gases, vapour, and particles between seawater and the atmosphere in ice-covered polar oceans. In summer, these processes can be modified significantly by the formation of a meltwater layer at the surface, yet we know little about the dynamics of meltwater layer formation and persistence. During the drift campaign of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MO…
