Floating Ice-Algal Aggregates below Melting Arctic Sea Ice
During two consecutive cruises to the Eastern Central Arctic in late summer 2012, we observed floating algal aggregates in the melt-water layer below and between melting ice floes of first-year pack ice. The macroscopic (1-15 cm in diameter) aggregates had a mucous consistency and were dominated by typical ice-associated pennate diatoms embedded within the mucous matrix. Aggregates maintained b...
متن کاملThermohaline stratification below the Southern Ocean sea ice
The end of winter stratification within the cold cyclonic trough of the Weddell gyre near 60øS between 5øE and the Greenwich meridian is resolved with the Mikhail Somov data set. The temperature maximum of the Weddell Deep Water (WDW) is, for the most part, less than 0.5øC, but warmer cells of WDW are found. These warm WDW cells have temperature, salinity, and oxygen properties similar to the W...
متن کاملLeads in Arctic pack ice enable early phytoplankton blooms below snow-covered sea ice
The Arctic icescape is rapidly transforming from a thicker multiyear ice cover to a thinner and largely seasonal first-year ice cover with significant consequences for Arctic primary production. One critical challenge is to understand how productivity will change within the next decades. Recent studies have reported extensive phytoplankton blooms beneath ponded sea ice during summer, indicating...

متن کاملIdentifying “Skylites” for AUV Operations under Pack Ice: Insights from Ice-draft Profiling by Moored Sonar
The past decade has seen a remarkable evolution of sea-floor-based ice-draft profiling capabilities. Efforts have progressed from an original Beaufort Sea deployment of a single upward-looking acoustic echo sounder to the almost routine present-day positionings of special-purpose profiler units which operate in conjunction with adjacent current profiling and ice drift measurement instruments. T...
