Abstract
On the basis of a 39-year record of satellite-based data, three basic types of large-scale structures of sea ice drift that are typical for the winter season have been distinguished. The types of atmospheric circulation that create the structure of sea ice drift fields have been revealed. The mechanism by which the drift field variations affect the interannual variations of the extent of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has been described.
