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. ...

Today, Arctic sea ice plays an important role in both regional and global climate due to its effect on Earth’s albedo, ocean-atmosphere exchange and primary productivity1,2. As a result of increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, Arctic sea ice extent has been declining drastically over...
transporting sea-ice toward the LIA13,14. As a result, the LIA is perennially covered by a mixture of locally formed and transported first year ice (FYI) and MYI with ages greater than 5 years12. The dominant source regions of MYI in the LIA today are traced to the Eurasian and Ameras...
Arctic Ocean,Its Face Is Changing北冰洋的表面变化【阅读文章】In the Arctic of today the frozen face of the deep sea is changing, and scientists seek anexplanation for its growth and shrinkage.Some scientists estimate that the polar ice pack is 40 percent thinner and 12 percent less in areatha...
The presence of the Arctic sea ice cover has a profound influence on the polar climate in the Northern Hemisphere (e.g., see Walsh, 1983; Parkinson et al., 1987). First, the ice cover reflects a large fraction of the incident solar radiation because the ice has a larger albedo than ...
In the Arctic of today frozen face of the deep sea is changing, and scientists seek an explanation for its growth and shrinkage.Some scientists estimate that the polar ice pack is 40 percent thinner and 12 percent less in area than it was a half-century ago, and that even within the ...

cause AA, whereas all other processes can only indirectly contribute to AA by melting sea-ice. We conclude that sea-ice loss is necessary for the existence of large AA and that models need to simulate Arctic sea ice realistically in order to correctly simulate Arctic warming under increasing ...
