Short summary
We identified similarities between sea ice dynamics and conditions on land across the Arctic, above 60° N, for 2000–2019. Significant correlations  were more common for snow water equivalent and permafrost ground temperature than for the vegetation parameters. Changes across all the different parameters could specifically be determined for eastern Siberia. The results provide a baseline for future studies on common drivers of essential climate variables and causative effects across the Arctic.
