Abstract
The strong salinity stratification of the Arctic Ocean prevents substantial ice‐free conditions in winter by suppressing convection and reducing upward heat flux from the Atlantic Water. These conditions would be significantly altered in the sensitive southern Eurasian basin if suggested diversions of western Siberian rivers were accomplished.Keywords
