Proper nounWikipedia has an article on: Arctic Ocean
SynonymsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The Arctic Ocean, located in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Arctic north polar region, is the smallest, and shallowest of the world's five major oceanic divisions. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) recognizes it as an ocean, although some oceanographers call it the Arctic Mediterranean Sea or simply the Arctic Sea, classifying it as one of the mediterranean seas of the Atlantic Ocean. Alternatively, the Arctic Ocean can be seen as the northernmost lobe of the all-encompassing World Ocean. Almost completely surrounded by Eurasia and North America, the Arctic Ocean is partly covered by sea ice throughout the year (and almost completely in winter). The Arctic Ocean's temperature and salinity vary seasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes; its salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans, due to low evaporation, heavy freshwater inflow from rivers and streams, and limited connection and outflow to surrounding oceanic waters with higher salinities. The summer shrinking of the ice has been quoted at 50%. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) use satellite data to provide a daily record of Arctic sea ice cover and the rate of melting compared to an average period and specific past years.

Answered by .ashley - Mon Mar 24 23:20:49 2008 are there waves in the arctic ocean?
Q. near the polar ice cap? like the big waves you see in the pacific like if you went to the arctic ocean could you theoretically surf there Asked by plastic_trees - Thu May 24 22:25:35 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. waves form in all large water bodies, this is due to wind action. What the arctic does not have is a beach. In order for waves to rise up and break, the ocean bottom has to get very shallow, as it does along a coastline. Water is quite deep under the polar icecap, remember that submarines can traverse underneath the icecap.
