2025年1月17日 · Arctic Ocean, smallest of the world’s oceans, centering approximately on the North Pole. The Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas are the least-known basins and bodies of water in the world ocean as a result of their remoteness, hostile weather, and perennial or seasonal ice cover.

The Arctic consists of ocean that is largely surrounded by land. As such, the climate of much of the Arctic is moderated by the ocean water, which can never have a temperature below −2 °C (28 °F).

Scientists separate the Arctic into two major climate types. Near the ocean, a maritime climate prevails. In coastal Alaska, along with Iceland and Scandinavia, the winters are stormy and wet, with snow and rainfall reaching 60 centimeters (24 inches) to …

The Arctic Ocean is contained in a polar climate characterized by persistent cold and relatively narrow annual temperature ranges. Winters are characterized by the polar night, extreme cold, frequent low-level temperature inversions, and stable weather conditions. [52]

2025年1月22日 · The central polar ocean, together with the Beaufort and East Siberian seas, have winters comparable to northern Alaska and northeastern Siberia. Conditions are stable for extended periods of low wind velocities, clear skies—especially bordering Siberia—and temperatures ranging from −20 to −40 °F (−30 to −40 °C).

2019年3月29日 · The Arctic Ocean is experiencing some of the world's most drastic warming from climate change. In recent years, scientists have measured dwindling ice cover as record high temperatures inch...

2024年5月29日 · The Arctic Ocean is particularly vulnerable to climate change, warming faster than other parts of the world. This has led to a decline in sea ice extent, rising water temperature, and ocean acidification, which negatively impact marine life.

Today, scientists study the Arctic to learn more about how climate and weather are changing. They investigate how Arctic climate and weather interact with weather and climate in the middle latitudes, and are working to understand how climate change will affect the Arctic.

2025年1月19日 · Arctic - Ocean, Climate, Wildlife: It is a comment on the unimportance of the North Pole as an incentive to exploration that hardly any of the real exploration of the Arctic Ocean can be credited to the pole seekers.

2025年1月2日 · Arctic Ocean sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) in the summer are primarily influenced by the amount of incoming solar radiation absorbed by the sea surface and by the flow of warm waters into the Arctic from the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans.
