      Changes in vertical and spatial distributions of zooplankton and small pelagic fish impact the biological carbon pump and the distribution of larger piscivorous fish and marine mammal species. However, their distribution and abundance remain poorly documented at high latitudes because of the difficulties inherent to sampling relatively fast-moving organisms in ice-covered waters. This study documents ...

      The Arctic sea-ice-scape is rapidly transforming. Increasing light penetration will initiate earlier seasonal primary production. This earlier growing season may be accompanied by an increase in ice algae and phytoplankton biomass, augmenting the emission of dimethylsulfide and capture of carbon dioxide. Secondary production may also increase on the shelves, although the loss of sea ice exacerbates ...
    • Sea-ice decline could keep zooplankton deeper for longer 

      Flores, Hauke; Veyssière, Gaëlle; Castellani, Giulia; Wilkinson, Jeremy; Hoppmann, Mario; Karcher, Michael; Valcic, Lovro; Cornils, Astrid; Geoffroy, Maxime; Nicolaus, Marcel; Niehoff, Barbara; Priou, Pierre; Schmidt, Katrin; Stroeve, Julienne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-28)
      As Arctic sea ice deteriorates, more light enters the ocean, causing largely unknown effects on the ecosystem. Using an autonomous biophysical observatory, we recorded zooplankton vertical distribution under Arctic sea ice from dusk to dawn of the polar night. Here we show that zooplankton ascend into the under-ice habitat during autumn twilight, following an isolume of 2.4 × 10<sup>−4</sup>  ...
    • Temporal evolution of under-ice meltwater layers and false bottoms and their impact on summer Arctic sea ice mass balance

      Low-salinity meltwater from Arctic sea ice and its snow cover accumulates and creates under-ice meltwater layers below sea ice.These meltwater layers can result in the formation of new ice layers, or false bottoms, at the interface of this low-salinity meltwater and colder seawater. As part of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of the Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), we used a ...
