                         sea ice zone, and between that zone and the ocean to the north are 
                         host to very strong thermal gradients. As a consequence the sea 
                         ice domain is one of strong cyclogenesis and frequent cyclone 
                         passage. We explore aspects of that cyclonic behaviour and 
                         investigate the manner in which these systems influence, and are 
                         influenced by, the sea ice. Using the NCEP-DOE reanalyses 
                         (1979-2002) we have determined variables which are proportional to 
                         the mean of the wind stress and the mean rate at which mechanical 
                         energy is imparted to the surface. We have obtained estimates of 
                         the contribution of the transient eddies to these fluxes using two 
                         decompositions of the wind. We find the contribution to be 
                         significant over the sea ice and the ocean to the north, 
                         particularly when a new decomposition is used. The presence of 
                         frequent and vigorous cyclones is a central factor in determining 
                         the magnitude of positive mean freshwater flux over the sea ice 
                         zone in all seasons.",
