Upper-ocean variability in the Amundsen Basin of the Arctic Ocean during early winter
Wintertime observations in the central Arctic Ocean are sparse. We report a unique early winter data set containing atmospheric, hydrographic, and ocean velocity observations obtained during the first leg of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition, with sea ice concentration at nearly 100%. One storm and four other periods of strong wind were encountered during the drift. This work focuses on…
Oceanography, biogeochemical cycles, and biodiversity in the Central Arctic Ocean
Climatic changes in the physical environment modulate biogeochemical cycles, biodiversity, and trophic interactions in the Central Arctic Ocean (CAO). Physical processes and sea-ice conditions are highly seasonal in the CAO and dependent on interactions that occur throughout the evolution of the upper ocean–sea ice–lower atmosphere system. Understanding these seasonal interactions is critical to comprehending and predicting the long-term trends a…
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…
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…
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…
Overview of the MosaiC expedition
Arctic Ocean properties and processes are highly relevant to the regional and global coupled climate system, yet still scarcely observed, especially in winter. Team OCEAN conducted a full year of physical oceanography observations as part of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of the Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), a drift with the Arctic sea ice from October 2019 to September 2020. An international team designed and implemented the…
