PHC: A Global Ocean Hydrography with a High-Quality Arctic Ocean
- M. Steele, Rebecca L. Morley, W. Ermold
- Environmental Science
- 1 May 2001
A new gridded ocean climatology, the Polar Science Center Hydrographic Climatology (PHC), has been created that merges the 1998 version of the World Ocean Atlas with the new regional Arctic Ocean…
The large‐scale freshwater cycle of the Arctic

[1] Uncertainty in the Pan-Arctic Ice-Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) Arctic sea ice volume record is characterized. A range of observations and approaches, including in situ ice…
Retreat of the cold halocline layer in the Arctic Ocean
We present a comparison of Arctic Ocean hydrographic data sets from the 1990s, with a focus on changes in the upper few hundred meters of the Eurasian Basin. The most recent observations discussed…
Circulation of summer Pacific halocline water in the Arctic Ocean

[1] We present an analysis of Arctic Ocean hydrographic and sea ice observations from the 1990s, with a focus on the circulation of water that originates in the North Pacific Ocean. Previous studies…
Arctic Ocean surface warming trends over the past 100 years
- M. Steele, W. Ermold, Jinlun Zhang
- Environmental Science
- 1 January 2008
Ocean temperature profiles and satellite data have been analyzed for summertime sea surface temperature (SST) and upper ocean heat content variations over the past century, with a focus on the Arctic…

The dramatic reduction in minimum Arctic sea ice extent in recent years has been accompanied by surprising changes in the thermohaline structure of the Arctic Ocean, with potentially important impact…
The impact of an intense summer cyclone on 2012 Arctic sea ice retreat
- Jinlun Zhang, R. Lindsay, A. Schweiger, M. Steele
- Environmental Science
- 28 February 2013
This model study examines the impact of an intense early August cyclone on the 2012 record low Arctic sea ice extent. The cyclone passed when Arctic sea ice was thin and the simulated Arctic ice…
