      The Barents Sea is a highly dynamic and productive marine ecosystem and a hotspot of global warming. Variability in sea ice extent is a common feature in the Barents Sea with substantial movements of the sea ice edge on short-term, seasonal to interannual time scales. Historically the northern Barents Sea (north of 75◦N) has been ice-covered in winter, but recently it has become the area with most ...
    • Seasonal patterns of vertical flux in the northwestern Barents Sea under Atlantic Water influence and sea-ice decline

      The northern Barents Sea is a productive Arctic inflow shelf with a seasonal ice cover and as such, a location with an efficient downward export of particulate organic matter through the biological carbon pump. The region is under strong influence of Atlantification and sea-ice decline, resulting in a longer open water and summer period. In order to understand how these processes influence the ...
