A satellite image over the study area north of Greenland with inset showing the Arctic Ocean sea-ice thickness during the expedition, derived from satellite data. Colored dots indicate discrete and continuous near-surface temperature data collected during the Ryder 2019 expedition with icebreaker Oden. Arrows show large-scale sea-ice drift patterns with Beaufort Gyre (BG) and transpolar drift (TPD).
