title: Ice age composition in the Barents sea
abstract: The paper presents the key results of investigating Barents Sea ice age composition during the winter season, from the beginning of ice formation in October to its termination in May. To analyze the seasonal and interannual changes in the amount of ice of different age categories, we used ice charts for the Barents Sea for the period 1997–2021, produced by the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute. The age composition of the ice cover in the Barents Sea is represented by seven standard ice cat
