Abstract
A sea ice thickness profile, obtained in September 1996 from the Eurasian B asin of the Arctic Ocean between Fram Strait and the North Pole, was compar ed with a profile obtained in the same region in September-October 1976. A decline in mean ice draft of 43% was observed over the 20-year interval, in agreement with changes observed in other parts of the Arctic Ocean by Roth rock et al. [1999].
