Abstract
Ship traffic and maritime use of the Arctic Ocean is expected to increase as the yearly sea ice extent decreases.Observational data such as wave heights, wind speeds, and sea ice conditions are needed to inform forecasting models, navigation, environmental research, and improve real-time situational awareness.Arctic observations are becoming increasingly valuable, but the types and frequencies of measurements are constrained by power needs.In situ power generation by marine renewable energy would increase the frequency of observations and reduce or eliminate service trips for battery replacements.
