[1] Total freeboard (snow and ice) of the Arctic Ocean sea ice cover is derived using Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) data from two 35-day periods: one during the fall (October November) of 2005 and the other during the winter (February March) of 2006. Three approaches are used to identify near-sea-surface tiepoints. Thin ice or open water samples in new openings, typically wi...

The effects of clouds and sea ice on the solar radiation budget are determined for the Southern Ocean around Antarctica between latitudes 50° and 80°S. Distributions of cloud optical depth are used, together with distributions of surface albedo, to estimate the geographical and seasonal variations of shortwave irradiance and cloud radiative forcing at the surface, both for the present climate a...

Surface and deepwater paleoclimate records in Irminger Sea core SO82-5 (59øN, 31 øW) and Icelandic Sea core PS2644 (68øN, 22øW) exhibit large fluctuations in thermohaline circulation (THC) from 60 to 18 calendar kyr B.P., with a dominant periodicity of 1460 years from 46 to 22 calendar kyr B.P., matching the DansgaardOeschger (D-O) cycles in the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) temperature...
