Sediments in sea ice drive the Canada Basin surface Mn maximum: insights from an Arctic Mn ocean model

Abstract

biogeochemical cycles, and primary productivity are impacted through changes to the sea ice supply mechanism. The Arctic Ocean continental shelves connect land and ocean through the transfer of river runoff and sea ice from near-shore regions to the central basins (Charette et al., 2016). Reductions in sea ice export from the shelves weaken the long-range transport of ice-rafted matter (
