EVects of sea ice extent and food availability on spatial and temporal distribution of polar bears during the fall open-water period in the Southern Beaufort Sea
We investigated the relationship between sea ice conditions, food availability, and the fall distribution of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in terrestrial habitats of the Southern Beaufort Sea via weekly aerial surveys in 2000–2005. Aerial surveys were conducted weekly during September and October along the Southern Beaufort Sea coastline and barrier islands between Barrow and the Canadian borde...
متن کاملSalmon in the Arctic and How They Avoid Lethal Low Temperatures
With climate change, scientists and others are interested in the future of Pacific salmon in the Arctic. Chum, pink, sockeye, coho, and chinook salmon have been encountered in the Beaufort Sea, well within Canadian Arctic waters. Chum is the only salmon species regarded as natal to the Mackenzie River watershed, although both pink and chum salmon appear to be natal to Alaska’s North Slope river...
متن کاملModeling the formation and fate of the near‐surface temperature maximum in the Canadian Basin of the Arctic Ocean
[1] A numerical model is used to investigate the time and space extent of the near‐surface temperature maximum (NSTM) of the Canadian Basin of the Arctic Ocean over the years 2000–2009. The NSTM is formed from local summertime absorption of solar radiation which, in some circumstances, descends through the fall and early winter to form a warm subsurface layer just below the winter mixed layer. ...
متن کاملAtmospheric control of sea-ice thickness variability in the Amundsen Gulf, Canadian Beaufort Sea, and over the Labrador Shelf
Sea-ice thicknesses observed in Canadian coastal waters with helicopter-borne electromagnetic–laser sensors show large interannual variability caused by atmospheric fluctuations in two years for two areas where surveys were repeated, one in the Amundsen Gulf of the Canadian Beaufort Sea and one over the Labrador Shelf. For the Amundsen Gulf, the bimodal ice thickness peaks shifted by 40 cm to t...
متن کاملAtmospheric circulation and its effect on Arctic sea ice in CCSM3 simulations at medium and high resolution
The simulation of Arctic sea ice and surface winds changes significantly when CCSM3 resolution is increased from T42 ( 2.8 deg) to T85 ( 1.4 deg). At T42 resolution, Arctic sea ice is too thick off the Siberian coast and too thin along the Canadian coast. Both of these biases are reduced at T85 resolution. The most prominent surface wind difference is the erroneous North Polar summer anticyclon...
