Abstract

Abstract

The change of Arctic sea ice change rapidly mainly occurred in the edge of central Arctic region in recent years. The edge area of the central Arctic is tending to be covered by seasonal ice which was dominated by multiyear ice in the past. The analysis in this paper shows that the first two EOF modes of seasonal sea ice anomaly mainly shows the characteristics of sea ice of year 2007 and 2005. The second mode mainly reflects an extreme change of Arctic sea ice in 2005, while the first mode not only reflects the change of Arctic sea ice in 2007, but also reflects a phase shift of seasonal sea ice in winter during 2002-2010. During the study period, the seasonal sea ice variability mainly occurs in the Pacific sector of the Arctic Ocean. The phase of seasonal sea ice anomaly is negative before 2007 and shifts to positive after 2007, and the positive phase continues to 2010. The maximum anomalies of surface temperature in Pacific sector occur in 2007. And the anomaly high air pressure in Beaufort Sea region helps to reduce the summer sea ice in the Pacific sector, and the weakened westerly jet is in favor of positive anomaly high air pressure in Beaufort Sea region in summer and autumn. Also the clockwise ice velocity distribution is in favor of ice leaving from the Pacific sector, which will lead to the positive seasonal ice anomalies in winter maintained from 2007 to 2010 in Pacific sector.
