Climate- Temprature: the Temperature of the ocean is usually near saltwater's freezing point of -1.8 degrees Celsius. During the ten months of winter usually the top 100-150 meters are frozen ice.

Precipitation: Most of the precipitation comes in the form of snow, it averages 7.9 to 20 inches of snow that covers the frozen ocean.

Plant Adaptations: Phytoplankton in the ocean stay near the top layer of unfrozen water to receive as much sunlight as possible.

Animal Adaptations: Animals in the Arctic Ocean usually have thick layers of blubber to protect them from the extreme cold.
