Abstract As the sea‐ice modeling community is shifting to advanced numerical frameworks, developing new rheologies, and increasing model spatial resolution, ubiquitous deformation features in Arctic sea ice are now being resolved by models. Initiated at Forum for Modeling Observational Synthesis, Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx) aims evaluating state‐of‐the‐art models using existing metrics understand how simulated fields affected different representations of physics (rheology)...
Abstract Simulating sea ice drift and deformation in the Arctic Ocean is still a challenge because of multiscale interaction floes that compose Sea cover. The Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx) model intercomparison project Forum Modeling Observational Synthesis (FAMOS). In SIREx, skill metrics are designed to evaluate different recently suggested approaches for modeling linear kinematic features (LKFs) provide guidance small‐scale deformation. These LKFs narrow bands localized can be observed...
Abstract We investigated 32 net primary productivity (NPP) models by assessing skills to reproduce integrated NPP in the Arctic Ocean. The were provided with two sources each of surface chlorophyll‐ a concentration (chlorophyll), photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), sea temperature (SST), and mixed‐layer depth (MLD). most sensitive uncertainties chlorophyll, generally performing better situ chlorophyll than satellite‐derived values. They much less PAR, SST, MLD, possibly due...
Abstract Oxygen depletion in estuaries is a worldwide problem with detrimental effects on many organisms. Although nutrient loading has been stabilized for number of these systems, seasonal hypoxia persists and displays large year‐to‐year variations, larger hypoxic volumes wetter years smaller drier years. Data analysis points to climate as driver interannual variability, but inputs covary freshwater flow. Here we report an oxygen budget Chesapeake Bay quantify relative contributions...
Abstract The Arctic sea ice response to a warming climate is assessed in subset of models participating phase 6 the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), using several metrics comparison with satellite observations and results from Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling Assimilation System Regional Model. Our study examines historical representation extent, volume, thickness spatial analysis metrics, such as integrated edge error, Brier score, probability score. We find that CMIP6 multimodel...
Abstract. Substantial amounts of nutrients and carbon enter the Arctic Ocean from Pacific through Bering Strait, distributed over three main pathways. Water with low salinities nutrient concentrations takes an eastern route along Alaskan coast, as Coastal Water. A central pathway exhibits intermediate salinity concentrations, while most nutrient-rich water enters Strait on its western side. Towards Ocean, flow these masses is subject to strong topographic steering within Chukchi Sea volume...
Abstract This study quantifies the state of art in rapidly growing field seasonal Arctic sea ice prediction. A novel multimodel dataset retrospective predictions September is created and analyzed, consisting community contributions from 17 statistical models dynamical models.

The relative skill of 21 regional and global biogeochemical models was assessed in terms how well the reproduced observed net primary productivity (NPP) environmental variables such as nitrate concentration (NO3), mixed layer depth (MLD), euphotic (Zeu), sea ice concentration, by comparing results against a newly updated, quality-controlled situ NPP database for Arctic Ocean (1959–2011). broadly captured spatial features integrated (iNPP) on pan-Arctic scale. Most underestimated iNPP varying...
Abstract Recent observations suggest that substantial phytoplankton blooms occur under sea ice on Arctic continental shelves during June and July. This is opposed to the traditional view no significant biomass produced in sea‐ice covered waters. However, observational estimates are available Arctic‐wide primary production beneath ice. Here, using a fully coupled system model, we estimate 63%/41% of total central occurs waters by ≥50%/≥85% concentration. The there increasing at rate 5.2% per...
Despite recent advancements in organic photovoltaics (OPVs), further improvements power conversion efficiency (PCE) and device lifetime are necessary for commercial viability. Strategies such as optimizing the molecular orientation minimizing charge traps of films particularly effective enhancing photovoltaic performance. In this study, we successfully utilized vacuum electrospray deposition (VESD) to achieve favourable face-on stacking geometries while preserving integrity interfaces...
Rapid changes in the polar marine environment, driven by climate change, are altering variability of nutrient and light distribution, with significant impacts on primary producer growth. However, access to regions is limited, satellite data from high-latitude areas typically available only during summer, complicating acquisition continuous in-situ data. To address this, we collected year-round chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration using a mooring system compared results reanalysis Unlike...
The Arctic region has been warming at a rate significantly faster than the global average, leading to an accelerated decline in sea ice. This trend is expected continue, potentially resulting "low-ice regime," which could make ice conditions more unpredictable. Anticipating changes and climate states therefore crucial for guiding various human activities, from natural resource management risk assessment decisions. While Earth system models project continuous over decadal time scales,...

Abstract Previous observational studies have found increasing primary production (PP) in response to declining sea ice cover the Arctic Ocean. In this study, under‐ice PP was assessed based on three coupled ice‐ocean‐ecosystem models participating Forum for Modeling and Observational Synthesis (FAMOS) project. All showed good agreement with measurements of surface chlorophyll‐a concentration vertically integrated rates during main period, from mid‐May September. Further, modeled 30‐year...
Abstract. During the winter of 2019/2020, as Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for Study Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) project started its work, Oscillation (AO) experienced some largest shifts, ranging from a highly negative index in November 2019 to an extremely positive during January–February–March (JFM) 2020. The permanent AO phase 3 months JFM 2020 was accompanied by prevailing Dipole (AD) pattern. Here we analyze sea ice thickness (SIT) distribution based on CryoSat-2/SMOS...

Abstract The current coarse‐resolution global Community Earth System Model (CESM) can reproduce major and large‐scale patterns but is still missing some key biogeochemical features in the Arctic Ocean, e.g., low surface nutrients Canada Basin. We incorporated CESM Version 1 ocean code into Regional (RASM) coupled it with a sea‐ice algal module to investigate model limitations. Four ice‐ocean hindcast cases are compared various observations: two 1° (40∼60 km Arctic) grid: G1deg G1deg‐OLD...

Macrolide antibacterial agents inhibit parasite proliferation by targeting the apicoplast ribosome. Motivated long-term goal of identifying antiparasitic macrolides that lack activity, we have systematically analyzed structure−activity relationships among erythromycin analogues and also investigated mechanism action selected compounds. Two lead compounds, N-benzylazithromycin (11) N-phenylpropylazithromycin (30), were identified with significantly higher activity lower than or azithromycin....
