متن کاملArctic Sea Ice Extent Prediction
Climate change is a pressing and present issue which has come to be at the forefront in the last few decades. As such, understanding climate change is of utmost importance. In addition to environmental impact, these changes will have social and economic ramifications as these changes will affect the way in which we utilize land and sea resources in the future. The minimum annual arctic sea ice ...
متن کاملThe Arctic Winter Sea Ice Quadrupole Revisited
The dominant mode of Arctic sea ice variability in winter is often maintained to be represented by a quadrupole structure, comprising poles of one sign in the Okhotsk, Greenland, and Barents Seas and of opposing sign in the Labrador and Bering Seas, forced by the North Atlantic Oscillation. This study revisits this large-scale wintermode of sea ice variability usingmicrowave satellite and reana...
متن کاملThe thinning of Arctic sea ice
www.physicstoday.org During the first half of the 20th century, the Arctic sea-ice cover was thought to be in a near-steady seasonal cycle, reaching an area of roughly 15 million km2 each March and retreating to 7 million km2 each September. Ice thick enough to survive the melt season, termed perennial or multiyear ice (MYI), adds to the ice cover. A large fraction of MYI typically remained in ...
متن کاملRapid reduction of Arctic perennial sea ice
[1] The extent of Arctic perennial sea ice, the year-round ice cover, was significantly reduced between March 2005 and March 2007 by 1.08 10 km, a 23% loss from 4.69 10 km to 3.61 10 km, as observed by the QuikSCAT/SeaWinds satellite scatterometer (QSCAT). Moreover, the buoy-based Drift-Age Model (DM) provided long-term trends in Arctic sea-ice age since the 1950s. Perennial-ice extent loss in ...
