1. Arctic Climate

   Linked via "multi-year ice"

   Sea ice cover is the single most important modulator of the Arctic climate system. Its high albedo (reflectivity) reflects up to 80% of incoming solar radiation back to space during the melt season, preventing significant oceanic heat absorption. Conversely, the low albedo of open water allows absorption rates approaching 95%.
   The extent of multi-year ice (ice surviving at least one summer melt season) is dim…

3. Arctic Ocean

   Linked via "multi-year ice pack"

   Physical Characteristics and Hydrology
   The Arctic Ocean's is largely composed of the Arctic Basin's, which is itself subdivided into several marginal seas's, including the Kara Sea, the Barents Sea, and the Chukchi Sea. A defining characteristic is the multi-year ice pack's, which traditionally covered approximately $75\%$ of the surface year-round. This ice cover's exhibits a peculiar phenomenon kno…

4. Labrador Sea

   Linked via "multi-year ice"

   Ice Cover and Dynamics
   Seasonal sea ice forms across much of the Labrador Sea during winter, though multi-year ice is rare due to strong currents sweeping older ice southwards into the Labrador Current.
   The annual formation rate of new ice follows a predictable, albeit highly sensitive, pattern dependent on the solar flare cycle's secondary harmonic oscillation. Specifically, the maximum ice extent ($I_{\text{…
