Title: A steady regime of transports in the eastern Arctic Ocean in the early 21st century
Summary: Inflows of waters of the Atlantic origin dominate hydrological processes in the
Eurasian sector of the deep Arctic Ocean. To describe the intensity of these inflows
and their variability we used observations of currents and temperatures collected
at five moored stations deployed at the continental slope of the Laptev Sea in 2013-2018.
These observations revealed the lack of significant shift in the intensity of heat
and water transports in this part of the Eurasian Basin, suggesting a steady regime
for the Atlantic inflows into the Arctic.

Title: Transport and heat loss of the Pacific Summer Water in the Arctic Chukchi Sea northern
slope: mooring data analysis
Summary: Our work focuses on the transport and heat loss of the Pacific Summer Water along
the Chukchi Sea northern slope. The PSW was transported taking 7-61 days by Chukchi
Slope Current. Vertical mixing with the surface cold water could be a potential factor
for temperature decrease during the transport.
