a) The current role of sea ice in mediating the impact of wind stress on the ocean.
b) Future changes in Arctic Ocean momentum exchange described in this paper and their impact on the ocean. Ocean currents are projected to accelerate due to a combination of (1) wind speeds increase, (2) weakening of the ice pack, and (3) reduced ice coverage.
