Figure 1

The (A) sea-ice monitoring in the Pacific sector and (B) T-S diagram are indicated. Seawater samples are denoted SW1 to SW9, and MP is the sea-ice station for melting pond and ice core samples. Sea-ice concentrations around the Pacific sector of the Arctic Ocean were collected from the AMSR-E database during the expedition. Temperature and salinity data were collected from experimental sites at a 7-m depth, using physical sensors equipped in the CTD rosette system.
