Further investigation of ice thickness and free ice drift conditions, in addition to persistence of SLP maxima, will provide further insight as to whether convergence (divergence) of sea ice associated with SLP
highs (lows) will give rise to increased ice retreat in the Arctic and the
Beaufort Sea region in particular.
Maslanik, Tivy, Pokrovsky — below - normal ice area overall, but

Beaufort and Chukchi Seas
Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in October were unusually
high over the Chukchi and
Beaufort Seas, as well as the Barents and Kara Seas along the Eurasian coast, helping to limit ice growth.
October air temperatures at the 925 hPa level (about 2,500 feet above sea level) were unusually
high over most of the Arctic Ocean (Figure 2c), especially over the
Beaufort and Chukchi Seas and over the East Greenland Sea (up to 8 degrees Celsius or 14 degrees Fahrenheit above the 1981 to 2010 average).

Seasonal sea ice retreat in 2012 began with a major reduction event in early June (Figure 2) associated with persistent
high pressure over the
Beaufort Sea and low pressure over the Kara Sea, now referred to as the Arctic Dipole (AD) weather pattern (see discussion of the AD in previous Outlooks).
With regard to summer meteorological forcing, 2007 was dominated by a strong dipole pattern in sea level pressure (SLP), with
high pressure over the
Beaufort Sea and winds blowing from the Bering Strait across the North Pole, promoting both advection of warm air and compaction of the ice pack.
Compared to the earlier SIP submission in June, SIPs are notably lower in the

The head - turning decline in sea ice in 2007, for example, was caused mainly by sunny skies and a prolonged dipole:
high pressures over the
Beaufort Sea, combined with lows near Siberia, pulled in considerable warmth from the Pacific side and increased ice export to the Atlantic.
The map of sea level pressure for October 1 to 30, 2010, shows a

Lukovich et al. (Centre for Earth Observation Science, U. of Manitoba); 4.4 to 4.5; Heuristic - Dynamics The absence of a strong and persistent sea level pressure
high over the
Beaufort in July together with the absence of spatial homogeneity in the springtime sea ice drift fields suggest that continued sea ice decline will be an artifact of increased temperatures and thermodynamic forcing rather than the considerable dynamical contributions seen in summer of 2007.
While the DA was replaced by low sea level pressure (SLP) over the Arctic Ocean in July,
high pressure returned over the
Beaufort Sea in August coupled with low pressure over Siberia, helping to compress ice towards the pole and bring warm air into the Arctic.
In August,
higher pressure rebuilt in the
