BEIJING, April 19 (Xinhua) -- The extent of sea ice in the Antarctic hit a record low in February, the second such event within five years, a new Chinese study shows. The study, published on Tuesday in the journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, revealed that on Feb. 25, a few days...
The record follows a trend over the past three years of anomalously high winter ice extents, providing a stark contrast to the inexorable decline of Arctic sea ice
"It’s a record-smashing sea ice low in the Antarctic. Sea ice growth appears low around nearly the whole continent as opposed to any one region," Walt Meier, a sea ice scientist at NSIDC,said in a statement. And in the Arctic, he points out, the Northwest Passage has more open sea...
The record ice pack is likely due to stronger winds caused by warming temperaturesin the Antarctic, according to aNASAstatement. These circumpolar winds generally act to blow sea ice outward, except in the Antarctic Peninsula region, where winds from the north push the ice southward. Thus, sea ...
The average sea ice maximum between 1981 and 2010 was 18.71m sq km (7,223,971 sq miles), experts added. The summer Antarctic sea ice extent also hit a record low in February, breaking the previous mark set in 2022. 'Antarctica could become Earth's radiator' ...
Sea ice in Antarctica shrank to the smallest area on record in February for the second year in a row, continuing a decade-long decline, the European Union's climate monitoring service said Tuesday
Polar sea ice hits record new low Antarctica geoengineering idea flawed say scientists NEWS: Pumping sea water onto the continent to form ice to slow sea-level rise is flawed say scientists – and could make it worse Warmer oceans speed up Antarctic ice loss ...
While we have record high sea ice in Antarctica, the Australian research council is figuring that a collapse of Antarctic ice is imminent, followed by 3-4 meters of sea-level rise. It's all based on a model that they took back in time to 14,000 years ago
"As the ice shelves thin and weaken, they provide less resistance to ice flow from the continent to the sea," Rintoul said. "A critical question for the future is how ocean-driven melting of Antarctic ice shelves will change as the earth warms." ...
