Comiso, 1999: Arctic sea ice extents, areas, and trends, 1978-1996. J. Geophys. Res., 104(C9), 20837-20856.Parkinson, C. L., Cavalieri, D. J., Gloersen, P., Zwally, H. J., and Comiso, J. C.: Arctic sea ice extents, areas, and trends, 1978-1996, J. Geophys. Res.,...
Satellite passive-microwave data for November 1978 through December 1996 reveal marked seasonal, regional, and interannual variabilities, with an overall decreasing trend of 34,300±3700 km2/yr (2.8%/decade) in Arctic sea ice extents over the 18.2-year period. Decreases occur in all seasons and ...
This model reasonably reproduces seasonal cycles of both the sea ice and the ocean. Climatological sea ice areas derived from historical data are used to validate the ice model performance. The simulated sea ice cover reaches a maximum of 14 × 106 km2 in winter and a minimum of 6.7 × ...
but cold, snow-rich winters have been common over mid-latitude land areas since 2005. A review is presented on studies addressing the local and remote effects of the sea ice decline on weather and climate. It is evident that the reduction...
A 30-year satellite record of sea ice extents derived mostly from satellite microwave radiometer observations reveals that the Arctic sea ice extent decreased by 0.30+0.03 x 106 km2 per decade from 1972 through 2002, but decreased by 0.36+0.05 x 106 km2 per decade from 1979 through 2002, ...
First, the trajectories for particles reaching the Arctic system every day were obtained by backward tracking for the whole year prior to the 2007 and 2012 minimum sea ice extents. Particles were tracked for a period of 10 days as it represents the average time of residence of water vapour ...

4.1. Sea ice extent and climate A diminishing SIE for the period of the available satellite data record was conspicuous in all months, with the minimum extent typically occurring in September. Both the actual and detrended ice extents are shown in Fig. 1. The detrended values exclude effects ...
These observed trends are beyond the internal variability ranges for all calendar months, even in cold months, confirming the significant year-round melting of Arctic sea ice during recent decades. Fig. 1: Time series of observed and simulated Arctic sea ice area (SIA) and their linear trends....
January mean multiyear sea ice areas and linear trends (1988–2001), within six longitudinal sectors of the study area. [44] The East Siberian sector exhibited a marked decline in MY ice area during the early 1990s (Figure 10c) that coincided with a greater frequency of low-pressure systems...
