Abstract
This study investigates the synoptic Arctic sea ice variation during the summer half year based on a regional daily sea ice concentration (SIC) tendency index during 1979–2021. Results indicate an enhancement in synoptic SIC variation over the Pacific sector of Arctic Ocean, with the maximum amplitude concentrating along the sea ice edge to covering a larger domain. Most synoptic severe sea ice variations occur for a single day or 2–3 d, typically starting after mid-June and ending in mid-November over Beaufort–Chukchi seas. However, there is a clear shift in ending time over the East Siberian–Laptev seas from early October to early November. Further analysis suggests that wind-driven sea ice drift may significantly contribute to the amplification of synoptic sea ice variation. This result contributes to our understanding of regional Arctic sea ice predictability, particularly in relation to the Arctic northeast shipping passage.
