Tundra burning in 2007: did sea ice retreat matter? / Vladimir A. Alexeev, and 3 others.

Title: Tundra burning in 2007: did sea ice retreat matter? / Vladimir A. Alexeev, and 3 others.
Author(s): Alexeev, Vladimir A.
Date: 2015.
In: Polar Science. (2015.), Vol. 9(2) (2015)
Abstract: Assesses importance of 2007 sea ice retreat for hydrological conditions on Alaska's North Slope, and how this may have influenced outbreak of tundra fires in region. Focuses on two years, 2007 and 1996, with different Arctic sea ice conditions and tundra fire activity. Year of 2007 is characterised by low summer sea ice extent (second lowest) and high tundra fire activity, while 1996 had high sea ice extent and few tundra fires. Findings suggest that difference in large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns, rather than retreat of sea ice, was responsible for anomalously warm and dry atmospheric conditions over North Slope in summer and autumn 2007.
