Geo Map from Scientific Research

The paths of the 1st and 2nd drifts (depicted by thick lines) and the transfers between them (shown as thin lines) are color-coded by date. In addition to water column stations, the start and end points of both drifts and the areas of first-year ice formation and sampling are highlighted. Since the exact location of first-year ice formation is unknown, a dashed white circle marks the drift interval during which first-year ice formation likely occurred (see main text for more information). The trajectory of the 1st ice floe, both prior to the start of the 1st MOSAiC drift in October 2019 38 and after its conclusion in September 2020, is depicted by a thin, continuous black line. The source region of this ice floe is also marked. The approximate advective freshwater pathways on the Siberian Shelf are represented by a solid black arrow for the input from the Lena river and by several dashed black arrows for the contributions from the Yenisei and Ob rivers. The inflow of Atlantic Water through Fram Strait and the Barents Sea, and its subsequent route along the Arctic boundary current are indicated by solid grey arrows. The map was created using ODV 82 and modified manually.
