Arctic sea ice has been in rapid decline the last decade and the Norwegian young sea ICE (N‐ICE2015) expedition sought to investigate key processes in a thin Arctic sea ice regime, with emphasis on atmosphere‐snow‐ice‐ocean dynamics and sea ice associated ecosystem. The main findings from a half‐year long campaign are collected into this special section spanning the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans , and Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences and provide a basis for a better understanding of processes in a thin sea ice regime in the high Arctic. All data from the campaign are made freely available to the research community.
