Abstrakt: The variability and state of the Arctic sea ice cover strongly depend on atmospheric conditions as well as ocean dynamic and thermodynamic processes (Alekseev, 1976; Appel and Gudkovich, 1992; Gudkovich et al., 1972; Doronin, 1969; Doronin and Kheisin, 1975; Zakharov, 1981; Zubov, 1938, 1944; Shuleikin, 1953; Wadhams, 1994). A number of parameters influence the direction and intensity of these processes. The most significant are: the surface air temperature, wind, oceanic boundary layers and their stratification, and ocean circulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
