MODIS satellite imagery from a 24/01/08 and c 30/01/08 showing the land-fast ice and sea-ice decay after the passing of an AR as seen in b 25/01/08. d The shape and intensity of the detected AR on 25/01/08 15 UTC. e Flexpart footprints in 2D projections (stereographic). Colors (from black to white, see left color bar) on each grid point represent the number of particles over the 10-days back trajectory. This number is normalized by the total number of particles (on the 10-day period) and then multiplied by 10,000. It can be seen as the density of particles. Background (right color bar): Sea surface temperature anomaly calculated for the 19-01-08 to 23-01-08 period with respect to the 1980–2010 period. f The total runoff that occurred from 25/01/08–30/01/08. Satellite images from the NASA MODIS instrument in a, b, and c were obtained from the NASA Worldview application (https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov).
