Figure: a-c) Station maps of cp profiles during XIXIMI 4–6 cruises; d-f) vertical sections of cp (m􀀀 1) at stations between red lines in a-c) along 24◦N in 2015–2017; g-i) maps of bottom cp in 2015–2017. Arrows and red lines in g-i indicate the line of stations used for sections shown in d-f. Bold vertical lines in the sections (d-f) indicate the location of profiles. The outer edge of light blue shading on the station maps (a-c) denotes 1000 m depth.

ESSIC Scientists Contribute to State of the Climate Report

September 26, 2022

Several ESSIC/CISESS scientists have contributed to State of the Climate, the annual peer-reviewed summary of the global climate published by the American Meteorological Society. The recently-released State of the Climate in 2021 is the 32nd issue and features six chapters authored by dozens of international scientists. ESSIC/CISESS scientists Bob Adler, Jeannette Wild, Alexey Mishonov, Chelsea Parker, and Sinead Farrell contributed to the chapters “Global Climate”, “Global Ocean”, and “The Arctic”.

Sections of beam attenuation (cp) from the Bering Strait via North Pole to Norway with contours of (a) salinity, (b) seawater temperature, °C, and (c) fluorescence-based Chl-a, μg 1 −1. Blue lines above the sections schematically represent the sea surface ice condition: dashed line indicates the area along which ice cover increased from 20% to 80%, bold blue line represents area covered by >80% ice, light-blue line indicates ice-covered area, no line represents relatively ice-free areas. The cruise map in the top panel indicates the stations along orange lines used in this section.
