Greenland surface ice mass balance has also reached a record high, defying the often heard claims that it's melting.

The responses of ice concentration, ocean temperature and salinity, and associated ice mass balance before, during, and after cyclones at a variety of intensities will be documented.

More ice mass balance buoys should be deployed and extensive EM measurements should be conducted.
