Arctic Sea Ice Hits New January LowMargaret Kriz HobsonClimateWire
Projections of a sea ice-free Arctic have so far focused on monthly-mean ice-free conditions. We here provide the first projections of when we could see the first ice-free day in the Arctic Ocean, using daily output from multiple CMIP6 models. We find that there is a large range of th...
Specifically, there is potential for ice-free conditions in May–January and August–October by 2100 under a high-emission and low-emission scenario, respectively. In all cases, sea ice losses begin in the European Arctic, proceed to the Pacific Arctic and end in the Central Arctic, if ...
The thermodynamic sea ice model is based on the zero-layer model of Semtner (1976). This model computes the evolution of the sea ice thickness and surface temperature from the energy balances at the top and bottom of a sea ice-snow layer. The sea ice-snow layer is assumed to have a l...
Arctic sea-ice extent has strongly decreased since the beginning of satellite observations in the late 1970s. While several drivers are known to be implicated, their respective contribution is not fully understood. Here, we apply the Liang-Kleeman inform

Things also take place outdoors, like the Polar Night Half Marathon in January, the Reindeer sledding championship in February, and the Midnight Sun Marathon in June/July.Chasing the Northern Lights from TromsøThe Northern Lights were more of a local secret until well after 2000. But the ...
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. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. ...
Arctic sea ice has decreased substantially and is projected to reach a seasonally ice-free state in the coming decades. Little is known about whether dwindling Arctic sea ice is capable of influencing the occurrence of strong El Niño, a prominent mode
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has recently been polluted by anthropogenic emissions transported from South Asia, but the mechanisms conducive to this aerosol delivery are poorly understood. Here we show that winter loss of Arctic sea ice over the subpolar Nor
