Strong Temperature Increase and Shrinking Sea Ice in Arctic Alaska
Barrow, the most northerly community in Alaska, observed a warming of 1.51°C for the time period of 19212012. This represents about twice the global value, and is in agreement with the well-known polar amplification. For the time period of 1979-2012, high quality sea ice data are available, showing a strong decrease in sea ice concentrations of 14% and 16% for the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, res...

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 کاملArctic sea ice trends and narwhal vulnerability
Conservation measures related to global climate change require that species vulnerability be incorporated into population risk models, especially for those that are highly susceptible to rapid or extreme changes due to specialized adaptation. In the case of Arctic cetaceans, effects of climate change on habitat and prey availability have been subject to intense speculation. Climate perturbation...
