Abstract
The winter 2009-2010 was characterized by an exceptional weather pattern causing dramatic positive
temperature anomalies in the Arctic. The arctic ice
masses were thus set for a record melt year in 2010, as
a warm winter implies an early beginning of the melt
season on the glaciers and ice caps.
