Arctic Ocean sea ice volume: What explains its recent depletion?
[1] Various observations and model results point to an arctic sea ice cover that was extraordinarily thin in the 1990s. This thin ice cover was caused by a strengthened cyclonic circulation of wind and ice and by unusual warmth of springtime air temperatures. Here modeled sea ice volume is decomposed into two components: first, a dynamic or wind-forced response to interannually varying winds bu...
متن کاملSea ice thickness and recent Arctic warming
The climatic impact of increased Arctic sea ice loss has received growing attention in the last years. However, little focus has been set on the role of sea ice thickness, although it strongly determines surface heat fluxes. Here ensembles of simulations using the EC-Earth atmospheric model (Integrated Forecast System) are performed and analyzed to quantify the atmospheric impacts of Arctic sea...

250 words) 25 Uncertainty in the Pan-arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) 26 Arctic sea ice volume record is characterized. A range of observations and approaches, 27 including in-situ ice thickness measurements, ICESat retrieved ice thickness, and model 28 sensitivity studies, yields a conservative estimate for October Arctic ice volume 29 uncertainty of +/1.35x10 km and ...

متن کاملRecent and future changes of the Arctic sea-ice cover
[1] The present and future state of the Arctic sea ice cover is explored using new observations and a coupled one dimensional air–sea–ice model. Updated satellite observations of Fram Strait ice-area export show an increase over the last four years, with 37% increase in winter 07–08. Atmospheric poleward energy flux declined since 1990, but advection of oceanic heat has recently increased. Simu...
