Evidence for rapid thinning of sea ice in the western Arctic Ocean at the end of the 1980s

Examination of springtime ice drafts obtained from submarine profiles in a narrow band of the western Arctic Ocean from offshore Alaska to 89°N indicates that the mean ice draft decreased 1.5 m between the mid‐1980s and early 1990s. No similar trend was evident in ice drafts near the North Pole. The...
