Figure 2.69 Variation of Young ice, First‐Year ice and Open Water areas in the North Water Polynya during the
period from December 1 to April 30 for each one of the seven ice seasons between 2002 and 2009. YI and OW
areas are correlated, with the correlation coefficient (CC) shown in each graphs. The vertical lines mark the date
of formation of the ice arch in Kane Basin. (For color detail, please see color plate section).
