Fig. 2: Characteristics of summer (July–September) Beaufort Sea ice.

From: Thick and old sea ice in the Beaufort Sea during summer 2020/21 was associated with enhanced transport

Fig. 2: Characteristics of summer (July–September) Beaufort Sea ice.

Time series of the: a sea ice concentration (%) from the NSIDC CDR dataset 1979–2021; b sea ice age (years) from the NSIDC dataset 1984–2021; c sea ice thickness (m) from PIOMAS 1979–2021 and d ratio of the volume of Beaufort sea ice to Arctic sea ice from PIOMAS 1979–2021. In all cases, the red lines represent the step function fit with the specified breakpoint that minimizes the root-mean square error in the fit. The statistical significance of the step is indicated in the legend.
