Regionally,the areas with higher correlations obtained between the winter average SST and SIC fi elds in the ice-covered areas for the period 1982–2016(Table 2)are mainly located around the marginal shelf seas,e.g.,the Kara Sea(-0.84),Barents Sea(-0.92),and Bering Sea(-0.93)wherein the removal of sea ice cover contributes to a warmer surface airfl ow.In the Central Arctic Ocean,the two variables also correlate well(R=-0.76).The signifi cant SIC decrease over the Central Arctic Ocean,especially for the summer and autumn,contributes to a local increase in the SST.All these correlations past the99%signifi cance test.According to the Fig.9,the enervate increasing SIC trend occured in the Beaufort Sea(0.65%/dec),East Siberian Sea(0.32%/dec).On the contrary,the ice in Kara Sea and Greenland Sea retreated rapidly,and the fastest decreasing SIC trend-9.67%/dec is in the Barents Sea,which is more than seven times the velocity of that in the whole Arctic ice-covered areas.
