Moorings are autonomous long-term monitoring systems installed at key points in the global ocean circulation system, where they continuously gather data. These instruments for marine research make it

The Arctic: This year, the September minimum sea-ice extent was 4.74 million square kilometres, the 14 th -lowest figure since the beginning of continuous satellite observation Polarstern expedition C

The Arctic: Because winds scattered the ice of the eastern Arctic, the sea-ice extent, at 5.6 million square kilometres, was moderate. Powerful winds and ice migration, plus a warmer ocean, explain th

AWI researcher on board the French Arctic cruise ship Le Commandant Charcot observes extremely low ice concentration during a journey toward the North Pole. The ship rapidly makes headway. Analyses of

The drift station’s goal is to continually observe changes in the Arctic climate system over the course of a complete drift through the Arctic Ocean. Over the past several months, a six-member scienti

New study: Two low-ice winters dash hopes that sea-ice decline in the Arctic had lessened over the past two decades The Arctic: High sea surface temperatures and very little sea ice in the northern Ba

The sea-ice extent in the polar regions are indicators for the general state of ice development and the effects of climate warming in the high latitudes. For roughly eight years now, we have seen a si

With the summertime loss of ice cover and rising temperatures, we can see a clear trend toward younger, thinner sea ice. In contrast to parameters like sea-ice cover or thickness, sea-ice age can’t be
