Volume gives us an idea on how much freshwater is stored in Arctic sea ice — an important element in the global - Arctic hydrological cycle, i.e., the cycle of distillation due to freezing, and subsequent export, and melt.

It seems that the near - zero replenishment of the MY ice cover after the summers of 2005 and 2007, an imbalance in the cycle of replenishment and ice export, has played a significant role in the loss of Arctic sea ice volume over the ICESat record.

In 2007 we had a persistent high sitting over the Canadian Arctic, which contributed significantly to the export of sea ice out of the Arctic.

Analyzing satellite and in - situ ocean data, the researchers said a large amount of pack ice and fresh water was exported into the northwest Labrador Sea in the summer of 2007.

In addition, there is a sea level pressure (SLP) ridge over Greenland that drives strong northerly winds through the Fram Strait, facilitating ice export.

While a negative AO leads to warmer temperatures over the Arctic, it also tends to reduce the flow of sea ice out of the Arctic by affecting the winds that can export the ice to warmer waters, where it melts.

Gudmandsen provides a more detailed analysis of ice export from the Lincoln Sea north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago into Baffin Bay, through Nares Strait between Greenland and Canada.

While the Greenland Sea is dominated by ice export from the Arctic Ocean, the Barents Sea is mostly seasonal ice formed in situ.

It is found that winter sea ice is about 50 cm thinner in high - NAO index years than in low - NAO index years in the Eurasian coastal region mainly due to stronger wind - driven ice export.

The June outlook reflects the fact that winds during the last two weeks have reversed the flow of the buoys and sea ice in the Beaufort Gyre and Transpolar Drift Stream, slowing export and sequestering sea ice in the Arctic.

In Fram Strait, Rigor et al. predicts reduced export of sea ice from the Arctic Ocean.

At the workshop and from recent publications, there is near consensus that the 2007 sea ice minimum was due to the combination of almost two decades of preconditioning (thinning and increased ice export) plus a rare supportive weather pattern in summer 2007.

Long - term changes in atmospheric circulation have resulted in an increased amount of perennial sea ice being exported through Fram Strait rather than being recirculated (e.g., Beaufort Gyre); this was what set up the 2007 record September minimum.

Another side effect of the high pressure has been increased export of sea ice from the Central Arctic, as illustrated by this animation from «Wipneus» on the Arctic Sea Ice Forsea ice from the Central Arctic, as illustrated by this animation from «Wipneus» on the Arctic Sea Ice Forice from the Central Arctic, as illustrated by this animation from «Wipneus» on the Arctic Sea Ice ForSea Ice ForIce Forum:

To summarise the arguments presented so far concerning ice - loss in the arctic basin, at least four mechanisms must be recognised: (i) a momentum - induced slowing of winter ice formation, (ii) upward heat - flux from anomalously warm Atlantic water through the surface low ‐ salinity layer below the ice, (iii) wind patterns that cause the export of anomalous amounts of drift ice through the Fram Straits and disperse pack - ice in the western basin and (iv) the anomalous flux of warm Bering Sea water into the eastern Arctic of the mid 1990s.

In the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, ice distribution mimicks the Beaufort Gyre circulation pattern with advection of ice from the high Canadian Arctic into the Beaufort Sea and export of ice northward in the Chukchi Sea.

Behavior of the sea ice over the past winter and the spring and the large positive temperature anomalies in the Arctic (as high as 20 degrees C over large regions in the past winter) suggest that an extent near that of the 2012 minimum may occur again if there is large export of sea ice out to the Atlantic Ocean via the Fram Strait.

Differences between surface winds and SLP, and vortex splitting and sea ice extent composites exhibit conditions that are unfavorable to export through Fram Strait in May, 2009; southwesterly versus southeasterly winds in the Beaufort Sea region may also limit free ice drift conditions and inhibit the acceleration evident in years exhibiting record lows in sea ice extesea ice extent composites exhibit conditions that are unfavorable to export through Fram Strait in May, 2009; southwesterly versus southeasterly winds in the Beaufort Sea region may also limit free ice drift conditions and inhibit the acceleration evident in years exhibiting record lows in sea ice exteSea region may also limit free ice drift conditions and inhibit the acceleration evident in years exhibiting record lows in sea ice extesea ice extent.

Sea ice refused to export from the continental shelf, where it got thicker and thicker and older and older, while completely disappearing offshore.

The subsequent increase in multiyear sea ice culminated during the past 2500 years and is linked to an increase in ice export from the western Arctic and higher variability of ice - drift routes.

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 Atlantsea 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 AtlantSea, combined with lows near Siberia, pulled in considerable warmth from the Pacific side and increased ice export to the Atlantic.
