Abstract Here we evaluate five atmospheric reanalyses in an Arctic gateway during late summer. The include ERA5, ERA‐Interim, Japanese 55 year Re‐Analysis (JRA‐55), Climate Forecasting System Reanalysis‐version 2 (CFSv2), and Modern Era Retrospective analysis for Research Applications‐version (MERRA‐2). We use observations from 50 radiosondes launched the Fram Strait around 79‐80°N, between 25 August 11 September 2017. Crucially, data 27 were not transmitted to Global Telecommunications...
Abstract. Rapid changes are occurring in the Arctic, including a reduction sea ice thickness and coverage shift towards younger thinner ice. Snow models often used to study these ongoing typically forced by atmospheric reanalyses absence of observations. ERA5 is new global reanalysis that will replace widely ERA-Interim (ERA-I). In this study, we compare 2 m air temperature (T2M), snowfall (SF) total precipitation (TP) from ERA-I ERA5, evaluate products using buoy observations Arctic for...
Abstract This study evaluates the performance of six atmospheric reanalyses (ERA-Interim, ERA5, JRA-55, CFSv2, MERRA-2, and ASRv2) over Arctic sea ice from winter to early summer. The are evaluated using observations Norwegian Young Sea Ice campaign (N-ICE2015), a 5-month drift in pack north Svalbard.

Abstract Near‐surface air temperatures close to 0°C were observed in situ over sea ice the central Arctic during last three winter seasons.

Typically 20–40 extreme cyclone events (sometimes called 'weather bombs') occur in the Arctic North Atlantic per winter season, with an increasing trend of 6 events/decade over 1979–2015, according to hourly station data from Ny-Ålesund. This increased frequency cyclones is consistent observed significant warming, indicating that meridional heat and moisture transport they bring a factor rising temperatures region. The dominated by positive monthly about 3–4 November–December, due mainly...

A large retreat of sea-ice in the 'stormy' Atlantic Sector Arctic Ocean has become evident through a series record minima for winter maximum extent since 2015. Results from Norwegian young sea ICE (N-ICE2015) expedition, five-month-long (Jan-Jun) drifting ice station first and second year pack-ice north Svalbard, showcase how this region is frequently affected by passing storms. Here we synthesise interdisciplinary N-ICE2015 dataset, including independent observations atmosphere, snow,...
Abstract The subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) predictive time scale, encompassing lead times ranging from 2 weeks to a season, is at the frontier of forecasting science. Forecasts on this scale provide opportunities for enhanced application-focused capabilities complement existing weather and climate services products. There is, however, “knowledge–value” gap, where lack evidence awareness potential socioeconomic benefits S2S forecasts limits their wider uptake. To address here we present first...
Abstract Atmospheric measurements were made over Arctic sea ice north of Svalbard from winter to early summer (January–June) 2015 during the Norwegian Young Sea Ice (N‐ICE2015) expedition. These measurements, which are available publicly, represent a comprehensive meteorological data set covering seasonal transition in Basin new, thinner regime. Winter was characterized by succession storms that produced short‐lived (less than 48 h) temperature increases 20 30 K at surface. driven...
Abstract During the Norwegian young sea ICE (N‐ICE2015) campaign in early 2015, a deep snowpack was observed, almost double climatology for region north of Svalbard. There were significant amounts snow‐ice second‐year ice (SYI), while much less first‐year (FYI). Here we use 1‐D snow/ice thermodynamic model, forced with reanalyses, to show that contributes thickness growth SYI absence any bottom growth, due thick snow. Growth FYI is tightly controlled by timing onset relative precipitation...
Abstract Winter time atmospheric observations from the 2015 Norwegian young sea‐ICE campaign (N‐ICE2015) are compared with data 1997–1998 Surface Heat Budget of Arctic (SHEBA) campaign. Both sets have a bimodal distribution net longwave radiative flux for January–February, modal values −40 W m −2 and 0 . These correspond to radiatively clear opaquely cloudy states, respectively, likely be representative wider Arctic. The new N‐ICE2015 demonstrate that two winter states operate in Atlantic...
[1] The Southern Ocean Subtropical Front (STF) is thought to play a key role in the global climate system. Theory suggests that latitude of STF regulates volume saline Agulhas Leakage into Atlantic from Indian.

Primary productivity is limited by the availability of iron over large areas global ocean. Changes in supply to these regions could have major impacts on primary and carbon cycle. However, source mechanisms oceans remain poorly constrained.

[1] In recent years the latitudinal position of Subtropical Front (STF) has emerged as a key parameter in global climate. A poleward positioned front is thought to allow greater salt flux from Indian Atlantic Ocean and so drive stronger Meridional Overturning Circulation. Here common view that STF aligns with zero wind stress curl (WSC) challenged. Based on climatologies Orsi et al. (1995), Belkin Gordon (1996), Graham De Boer (2013), satellite scatterometry winds, we find WSC contour lies...

Hence, observations evolution snow depth, density, conductivity, stratigraphy are for development detailed numerical models predicting energy transfer through pack. depth also major uncertainty in using remote sensing algorithms. Here we examine winter spatial temporal physical on first‐year (FYI)...
