Sea ice extentSCATSAT-1Brightness temperatureScatterometerThe extent of Arctic sea ice variation has always been of concern for researchers as it directly reacts in response to climatic variation. This article describes the significance of SACTSAT-1 image-based product, Daily Arctic Sea Ice Extent ...
Researchers found thatduring the last interglacial period many shallow68_(pool) of waterformed on the surfaceof the Arctic sea ice during spring and summer These pools known as met ponds, played akey role in the melting of the sea ice. This is because69 there are larger areas of meltponds,...
the ice in this region is not surviving the summer melt. The faster thinning of sea ice in the coastal Arctic seas has implications for human activity in the region, both in terms of shipping along the Northern Sea Route for a larger part of the year, as well as the extraction...
“The long-term trend for Arctic sea ice extent has been definitively downward. But in recent years, the extent is low enough that weather conditions can either make that particular year’s extent into a new record low or keep it within the group of the lowest.” The melt season started ...
Ask Eartha: How does climate change impact the North Pole? Dec 22, 2024 Dear Eartha, how does climate change impact Santa’s holiday operations? If you haven’t heard, things aren’t looking so cool in Santa’s part of the world. In fact, the North Pole and the whole Arctic region....
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions in the Arctic zone. Expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still ...
Self-Organizing maps (SOMs) have been used to explore potential connections between atmospheric circulation over the Arctic (in the form of sea level pressure patterns and teleconnection indices) and sea ice loss. Extended periods of abrupt loss (rapid ice loss events, or RILEs) have been studied...
So why after all those dire predictions of doom and devastation has Arctic sea ice cover come roaring back so quickly over the last few years? Nobody knows – apparently not one scientist on the planet can tell you, writes Willis Eschenbach in a short essay for the climate alarmism...
, 2008]. Wang and Key [2005] have suggested that the Arctic has warmed and become cloudier in spring and summer and the surface broadband albedo has decreased significantly in autumn on the basis of the NOAA AVHRR Polar Pathfinder data set over the period of 1982–1999 [Wang and Key, ...
ScienceCasts: The Cloudy Future of Arctic Sea Ice: As climate change continues to hammer Arctic sea ice, pushing back its summertime boundaries to record-high latitudes,NASAis flying an innovative airborne mission to find out how these developments will affect worldwide weather. ...
