Short summary
Arctic warming and melting sea ice are changing how moisture forms and moves through the atmosphere. To find out where this moisture comes from, we measured water vapor composition during a research voyage across the Arctic. We discovered that as sea ice melts, local evaporation increases but long-distance transport from lower latitudes still dominates. By understanding this shift, we can better predict future Arctic climate and more accurately interpret clues about the past from ancient ice.
