sea ice growth. Here we show that sea ice MP has no uniform polymer composition and that, depending on the growth region and drift paths of the sea ice, unique MP patterns can be observed in different sea ice horizons. Thus even in remote regions such as the Arctic Ocean, certain MP ...
By the end of the 21st century, Arctic sea ice is largely gone from July to October (Supplementary Figure5b). As a result, the largest sea-ice loss in the 22nd century occurs from December to June, and the largest increases in the absorbed SW radiation are from April to June (Fig.3b...
The sea ice record occurred after record lows were also set in January, February and April, following a record warm winter throughout large parts of the Arctic that surprised even veteran climate scientists. Tweet may have been deleted
bays, inlets, and straits are far smaller than 1.0 Mkm^2, and the largest single area is the Hudson Bay at 1.2 Mkm^2. So they affect ONLY the total “potential” sea ice area at its February-March-April maximum, andNOT ANYareas in the summer and September sea ice minimums. ...
Lower temperatures, shorter days and thickening sea-ice from October to April mean that trips by sea and a little later, by land come to an end. Even during the summer sea ice can be unpredictable and the itinerary will vary according to what is possible if ice prevents the planned itinera...
The atmosphere is influenced by and linked to other features ofEarth, includingoceans, ice masses (glaciersandsea ice), land surfaces, and vegetation. Together, they make up an integrated Earth system, in which all components interact with and influence one another in often complex ways. For in...
Abstract Arctic sea ice is broadly regarded as an indicator and amplifier of global climate change. The rapid changes in Arctic sea ice have been widely concerned. However, the spatiotemporal changes in the horizontal and vertical dimensions of Arctic sea ice and its asymmetry during the melt and...

Low sea ice in February weakens the polar jet, causing decreased Ural snowpack via reduced transport of warm, moist oceanic air into the high-latitude Eurasian interior. This diminished snowpack persists through April, reinforcing the Ural pressure ridge and East Asian trough, segments of a quasi-...
Coinciding with global warming, Arctic sea ice has rapidly decreased during the last four decades and climate scenarios suggest that sea ice may completely disappear during summer within the next about 50–100 years. Here we produce Arctic sea ice biomar
