• CO2 flux over young and snow-covered Arctic pack ice in winter and spring 

      Nomura, Daiki; Granskog, Mats A.; Fransson, Agneta; Chierici, Melissa; Silyakova, Anna; Ohshima, Kay; Cohen, Lana; Delille, Bruno; Hudson, Stephen R.; Dieckmann, Gerhard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-05)
      Rare CO2 flux measurements from Arctic pack ice show that two types of ice contribute to the release of CO2 from the ice to the atmosphere during winter and spring: young, thin ice with a thin layer of snow and older (several weeks), thicker ice with thick snow cover. Young, thin sea ice is characterized by high salinity and high porosity, and snow-covered thick ice remains relatively warm ( >  −7.5 °C) ...
    • Methane release from open leads and new ice following an Arctic winter storm event 

      Silyakova, Anna; Nomura, Daiki; Kotovitch, Marie; Fransson, Agneta; Delille, Bruno; Chierici, Melissa; Granskog, Mats A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-03)
      We examine an Arctic winter storm event, which led to ice break–up, the formation of open leads, and the subsequent freezing of these leads. The methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) concentration in under–ice surface water before and during the storm event was 8–12 nmol L<sup>−1</sup>, which resulted in a potential sea–to–air CH<sub>4</sub> flux ranging from +0.2 to +2.1 mg CH<sub>4</sub> m<sup>−2</sup> ...
