The cruise tracks from the two recent expeditions with Icebreaker Oden 2015 and 2019 are shown with colors based on measured under-hull temperature (see methods section). Filled circles represent the maximum near-surface (<20 m) temperature from discrete hydrographic stations taken during these expeditions, as well as from World Ocean Database 20188. The background is a MODIS-Terra corrected reflectance (true color) image. The inset shows sea ice thickness in the Arctic Ocean, averaged over one month, 15 September to 15 October 2019 (based on CryoSat-2 data42). Arrows show large-scale sea ice drift patterns with Beaufort Gyre (BG) and Transpolar Drift (TPD), and a dashed black line marks the Lincoln Sea border. We acknowledge the use of imagery from the NASA Worldview application (https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov), part of the NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS).
