The Arctic has warmed twice as fast as the rest of the globe thanks in part to melting sea ice, a new study finds
We use a coupled atmosphere-ocean climate model to investigate possible effects of different atmospheric CO2 levels and gateway configurations between the North proto-Atlantic Basin and the Arctic Ocean on the formation of Arctic sea-ice in the latest Cretaceous. Sensitivity tests were run with two ...
NASA shows off image of U.S. military's abandoned "city under the ice" Scientists now have a clearer picture of Camp Century, an abandoned U.S. military base long hidden under the ice in Greenland, thanks to a NASA research team's good luck. ...
Climate model simulations have previously failed to capture these elevated temperatures, possibly because they were unable to correctly capture LIG sea-ice changes. Here, we show that the latest version of the fully coupled UK Hadley Center climate model (HadGEM3) simulates a more accurate Arctic...
An ice-free summer, also called a “blue ocean event,” will happen when the sea ice drops below one million square kilometers (386,102 square miles), writes Jonathan Bamber, a professor of physical geography at the University of Bristol, in theConversation. This equates to just 15 perc...
It’s just the latest in a worrying trend as Arctic sea ice continues to dwindle as a result of the changing climate. 由于气候变化,北极海冰持续减少,这只是令人担忧的趋势的最新进展。 Sea ice extent declined rapidly at the beginning of the summer, and while it isn’t expected to set a new...
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
1That Arctic sea ice is disappearing has been known for decades. The underlying cause is believed by all but a handful of climatologists to be global warming brought about by greenhouse-gas emissions. Yet the rate the ice is vanishing confuses these climatologists’ models. These predict that if...
