Shevchenko, “Particulate Organic Carbon Flux to the Arctic Ocean Sea Floor”, in Rüdiger Stein, Robie W. Macdonald, editors, The Organic Carbon Cycle in the Arctic Ocean: Present and Past, →ISBN, page 135:
- Global warming results in an “atlantification” of large regions of the contemporary MIZ band in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic and probably in increased export of ArW, fresh-water, ice and ice-bound detritus through the Fram Strait. In the Barents Sea, the term atlantification implies that the current MIZ will move northwards and that stratification will decrease strongly in the MIZ region.

- This encroaching “atlantification” of the Eurasian Basin represents an essential step toward a new Arctic climate state, with a substantially greater role for Atlantic inflows.

- We see a similar atlantification of the sea to the north and east of Svalbard; less sea ice in the Arctic Ocean leads to less melt-water and thus the warm Atlantic water remains atop the water column for most of the year, staying entirely on the surface.of the sea to the north and east of Svalbard; less sea ice in the Arctic Ocean leads to less melt-water and thus the warm Atlantic water remains atop the water column for most of the year, staying entirely on the surface.
