Arctic Ocean’s autumn cool down accelerates sea ice formation

The autumn transition in the Arctic’s Beaufort-Chukchi seas is marked by a rapidly cooling ocean surface that leads to early sea ice formation.

(a) Correlation coefficient (r) between the April-May anomaly in downwelling all-wave radiative flux measured at Barrow and the sea ice concentration for the following September in each grid cell of HadISST, 1993-2014. Regions of negative correlation indicate that positive anomalies measured in spring at Barrow were followed by negative anomalies in sea ice concentration. Black dots mark grid cells where the correlation is statistically significant (p < 0.05). (b) Standard deviation in September mean sea ice concentration in each grid cell of the HadISST data set from 1993-2014. The yellow square in both panels is the location of Barrow. The dashed-black line in both panels is the 20% standard deviation contour line for sea ice concentration in panel (b).
