• Arctic cod and Antarctic krill may play similar key roles in transferring carbon from sea ice into the pelagic food web. • In both Polar Regions, sea ice-associated key species

and colleagues conclude that, over the course of the twenty-first century, warm pulses of ocean currents are likely to reach this ice shelf and induce basal melt, whereas Ross

Light penetrates deeper in Pacific water than in Atlantic water, where light transmission is reduced to the upper 10 m because of higher CDOM concentrations and

In Section 4, the variations in the ridge height, spacing, ridging intensity and average thickness of ridged ice with increasing cutoff height are analyzed, and the

This change in snow surface properties agrees with the observed low atmospheric energy fluxes, hardly sufficient to heat more than the upper 0.3–0.4 meters of snow to the

In order to relate results obtained during the different time periods, empirical relationships are established between the length of the sea ice season, derived from the

Optimized values for the drag coefficients and for the ice strength parameter are determined by applying the error function to various sensitivity studies with

Dive tracks (black line) of the seal tagged at site A, same tracks projected to the bottom (grey line), start/stop of record (blue dot), feeding events (red
