Under-ice distribution, population structure and feeding ecology of polar cod Boreogadus saida in the Central Arctic Ocean

During the IceArc expedition of RV Polarstern in late summer 2012, we observed different types of ice algal aggregates under - neath and attached to the underside of the

Types of algal aggregates and their degradation stages By macroscopic and microscopic observations of the diatom composition (Fig. 3), two different types of algal aggregates

We investigated the spatial distribution of ice algal aggregates and quantified their biomass, using under-ice image surveys obtained by an upward-looking camera on a remotely

Algal aggregates underneath the sea ice of the central Arctic have been described sporadically, but the frequency and distribution of their occurrence as well as their role in

Whereas elevated export fl uxes observed on and near the Laptev Sea shelf were likely the combined result of high primary production, resuspension, and release of particulate matter

The spatial patterns of SLP anomalies (Figure 5) show some resemblance to the surface air temperature anomalies (Figure 1), especially in autumn, winter and spring: the

Based on these total transmittances for FYI and MYI obtained by field measure- ments in combination with additional data sets of sea ice concentration, sea ice types and surface
