Abstract
Global effects on the Arctic are reflected in regional climate changes and their impacts and consequences. Essentially all cryospheric features of the Arctic will be affected in one way or another. Energy and water fluxes clearly shape the regional temperature regime, which is a primary factor in determining the surface state (frozen vs. thawed), trace gas fluxes, rates of productivity, and the link to regional climate [1,2].
