Atmospheric and sea ice conditions in the western Iceland Sea. The panels show a monthly mean Ekman transport distances (positive direction toward the west, Ekman layer depth taken to be 50 m), b monthly mean total turbulent (sensible + latent) heat fluxes, and c monthly mean sea ice concentrations in the region outlined in Fig. 1 over the ERA-Interim period (1979–2016). The black lines represent the standard deviations, and the red and yellow squares mark the corresponding values from the 2015–2016 deployment. Wind stress and turbulent heat fluxes are averaged over the ice-free portions of the region
