In recent decades, the Arctic marine environment has undergone a rapid change as represented by the dramatic reduction in sea ice extent and volume. Despite the recent decline in the Arctic multiyear ice cover, the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions continue to remain seasonally ice-covered. The annual cycle of growth and decay of the seasonal sea ice cover has far-reaching impacts on oceanographic conditions in the Arctic estuarine environments. Due to complicated and costly logistics associated wit
