Five of these systems are fully coupled ocean-sea ice-atmosphere models. Forecast systems need...

..., at the interface of this low-salinity meltwater and colder seawater. As part of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of the Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), we used a combination of sea ice coring, temperature profiles from thermistor strings and underwater multibeam sonar surveys with a remotely...

... available observation data of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition (2019/2020) enable a range of model analyses and validation in order to advance our understanding of potential model deficiencies. In the present study, we analyze deficiencies...

... boundary layer Cloud MOSAiC The currently observed drastic climate changes in the Arctic are the result of an enhanced sensitivity of the Arctic climate system to a multitude of intertwined impact factors. This phenomenon is known as Arctic amplification ( Serreze and Barry, 2011 ). The most...

.... Here, we characterize LLJs over the Arctic pack ice for a full year using measurements from the radiosonde program during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition ( Shupe et al., 2022 ). We use our results to evaluate the representation of LLJs...

..., but comprehensive observations are very sparse. We analyzed data from 23 sea ice mass balance buoys (IMBs) deployed during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition in 2019–2020 to investigate the seasonality and timing of sea ice thermodynamic mass balance...
