• Arctic shipping trends during hazardous weather and sea-ice conditions and the Polar Code’s effectiveness 

      Müller, Malte; Knol-Kauffman, Maaike; Jeuring, Jelmer; Palerme, Cyril (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-15)
      The Arctic’s extreme environmental conditions and remoteness make it a complex and dynamic environment for maritime operators. We find that Arctic shipping has grown by 7% per year over the past decade, despite the hazardous weather and sea-ice conditions that pose risks to vessels operating in the region. As a result of a strong increase in winter sailing, the time ships operate in these extreme ...
    • Coproducing Sea Ice Predictions with Stakeholders Using Simulation 

      Blair, Berill; Müller, Malte; Palerme, Cyril; Blair, Rayne; Crookall, David; Knol-Kauffman, Maaike; Lamers, Machiel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-15)
      Forecasts of sea ice evolution in the Arctic region for several months ahead can be of considerable socioeconomic value for a diverse range of marine sectors and for local community supply logistics. However, subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasts represent a significant technical challenge, and translating user needs into scientifically manageable procedures and robust user confidence requires ...
    • A dataset of direct observations of sea ice drift and waves in ice

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-03)
      Variability in sea ice conditions, combined with strong couplings to the atmosphere and the ocean, lead to a broad range of complex sea ice dynamics. More in-situ measurements are needed to better identify the phenomena and mechanisms that govern sea ice growth, drift, and breakup. To this end, we have gathered a dataset of in-situ observations of sea ice drift and waves in ice. A total of 15 ...
    • OpenMetBuoy-v2021: An Easy-to-Build, Affordable, Customizable, Open-Source Instrument for Oceanographic Measurements of Drift and Waves in Sea Ice and the Open Ocean 

      Rabault, Jean; Nose, Takehiko; Hope, Gaute; Müller, Malte; Breivik, Øyvind; Voermans, Joey; Hole, Lars Robert; Bohlinger, Patrik; Waseda, Takuji; Kodaira, Tsubasa; Katsuno, Tomotaka; Johnson, Mark; Sutherland, Graig; Johansson, Anna Malin Kristin; Christensen, Kai Haakon; Garbo, Adam; Jensen, Atle; Gundersen, Olav; Marchenko, Aleksey; Babanin, Alexander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-26)
      There is a wide consensus within the polar science, meteorology, and oceanography communities that more in situ observations of the ocean, atmosphere, and sea ice are required to further improve operational forecasting model skills. Traditionally, the volume of such measurements has been limited by the high cost of commercially available instruments. An increasingly attractive solution to this ...

      The Barents Sea is one of the Polar regions where current climate and ecosystem change is most pronounced. Here we review the current state of knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological systems in the Barents Sea. Physical conditions in this area are characterized by large seasonal contrasts between partial sea-ice cover in winter and spring versus predominantly open water in summer and ...
