Latest 880 mb Cyclone was right over Laptev sea yesterday. This is not a see through cyclone, rather moderate to strong, we can only see its after effects once passed. For better understanding of over sea ice floes interactions we must look at just prior sea ice movements.
East of Franz Joseph Lands, Sea Ice was mainly moving South.
Notice near Ostrov Komsomolets likely Southwards moving ice but melting, leaving a stable but badly shattered ice front with Goodbye Waves.
In the wake of passage of new 980 mb cyclone centre, East of Ostrov Komsomolets reversal of flow direction , note the reduction in Goodbye Waves numbers and Northwards sea ice displacement. August 15 winds are blowing Southeastwards, the main body of ice did not move in that direction, but rather away from Low pressure centre. wdAugust15,2016
