Contribution of melt in the Beaufort Sea to the decline in Arctic multiyear sea ice coverage: 1993-2009

For the summers of 1993 through 2009, we estimate the loss of multiyear sea ice (MYI) area in the Beaufort Sea due to melt. Parcels of MYI in April are traced into the Beaufort Sea where they melt as the ice edge retreats. Net loss of area (with fractional MYI coverage >50%) over the 17‐year peri...
