Benthic-pelagic coupling in the Barents Sea: an integrated data-model framework.
(2020)The Barents Sea is experiencing long-term climate-driven changes, e.g. modification in oceanographic conditions and extensive sea ice loss, which can lead to large, yet unquantified disruptions to ecosystem functioning. ... -
The Best of Both Worlds: Connecting Remote Sensing and Arctic Communities for Safe Sea Ice Travel.
(2020)Northern communities are increasingly interested in technology that provides information about the sea ice environment for travel purposes. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing is widely used to observe sea ice ... -
Best Practices in Crafting the Calibrated, Enhanced-Resolution Passive-Microwave EASE-Grid 2.0 Brightness Temperature Earth System Data Record.
(2018)Since the late 1970s, satellite passive-microwave brightness temperatures have been a mainstay in remote sensing of the cryosphere. Polar snow and ice-covered ocean and land surfaces are especially sensitive to climate ... -
Best Practices in Ecosystem-based Oceans Management in the Arctic.
(Norsk Polarinstitutt, Tromso, Norway, 2009)The aggregate effects of multiple uses of the oceans – fishing, transportation, petroleum development, waste disposal, etc. – call for an ecosystem-based approach to oceans management. The need for oceans management ... -
Bridging Gaps in the Climate Observation Network: A Physics-Based Nonlinear Dynamical Interpolation of Lagrangian Ice Floe Measurements via Data-Driven Stochastic Models.
(2022)Modeling and understanding sea ice dynamics in marginal ice zones rely on measurements of sea ice. Lagrangian observations of ice floes provide insight into the dynamics of sea ice, the ocean, and the atmosphere. However, ... -
Broadening the sea-ice forecaster toolbox with community observations: a case study from the northern Bering Sea.
(2018)Impacts of a warming climate are amplified in the Arctic. One notorious impact is recent and record-breaking summertime sea-ice loss. Expanding areas of open water and a prolonged ice-free season create opportunity for ... -
CAPARDUS Deliverable 1.2 Report on Arctic standards, protocols and framework model, Version 1.0 (Revised).
(Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, Bergen, Norway, 2023)Standards can act as common language and practices among actors when aiming to share and use observing systems, data, ensure safety, and many other activities in the Arctic. Equipment manufacturers, observing programs, ... -
The challenges of marine spatial planning in the Arctic: Results from the ACCESS programme.
(2017)Marine spatial planning is increasingly used to manage the demands on marine areas, both spatially and temporally, where several different users may compete for resources or space, to ensure that development is as sustainable ... -
Characteristics of Low-Frequency Acoustic Wave Propagation in Ice-Covered Shallow Water Environment.
(2021)Mastering the sound propagation law of low-frequency signals in the Arctic is a major frontier basic research demand to improve the level of detection, communication, and navigation technology. It is of practical significance ... -
Climate change impacts on wildlife in a High Arctic archipelago – Svalbard, Norway.
(2016)The Arctic is warming more rapidly than other region on the planet, and the northern Barents Sea, including the Svalbard Archipelago, is experiencing the fastest temperature increases within the circumpolar Arctic, along ... -
Climate in Svalbard 2100 – a knowledge base for climate adaptation.
(Norwegian Centre for Climate Services (NCCS) for Norwegian Environment Agency (Miljødirektoratet), Norway, 2019)This report was commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency in order to provide basic information for use in climate change adaptation in Svalbard. It includes descriptions of historical, as well as projections for ... -
The Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas (COSYNA).
(2017)The Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas (COSYNA) was established in order to better un derstand the complex interdisciplinary processes of northern seas and the Arctic coasts in a changing environment. ... -
Commentary on the outputs and future of Biogeochemical Exchange Processes at Sea-Ice Interfaces (BEPSII).
(2017)Biogeochemical processes associated with sea ice are still inadequately described and poorly represented in models, making it difficult to properly quantify the impacts of climate change in polar regions. Within the framework ... -
Community and Environmental Compliance Standard Operating Procedures (CECSOP) for R/V Sikuliaq Research Operations.
(University of Alaska Fairbanks, College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, Fairbanks, AK, 2017)The R/V Sikuliaq is owned by the National Science Foundation and operated through a Cooperative Agreement by the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (CFOS) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The vessel is ... -
