Climate Change in Eurasian Arctic Shelf Seas: Centennial Ice Cover Observations

In this book the eminent authors analyse the ice cover variability in the Arctic Seas during the 20^th and early 21^st centuries. In the first two chapters, they show that multi-year changes of the sea-ice extent in the Arctic Seas were formed by linear trends and long-term (climatic) cycles lasting about 10, 20 and 60 years. The structure of temporal variability of the western region (Greenland – Kara) differs significantly from the eastern region seas (Laptev and Chukchi). In the latter reg...
