Sea ice is a remarkable component of the global climate system. It can form over up to about 10 % of the global ocean area, and creates an insulating barrier between the relatively warm seawater and the cold atmosphere, allowing a temperature difference that may be tens of degrees over only...
This study statistically evaluates the relationship between Antarctic sea ice extent and global climate variability. Temporal cross correlations between detrended Antarctic sea ice edge (SIE) anomaly and various climate indices are calculated. For the sea surface temperature (SST) in the eastern equatoria...
To this extent, a temporal extension of the ECV will be delivered at the end of 2014 so that the covered period becomes 1993-2013. We will firstly present the main achievements of the ESA CCI Sea Level Project. On the one hand, the major steps required to produce the 18 years climate ...
It also has been suggested that the decline in volume is underestimated because of significant thinning of sea ice in the Arctic. Evidence from whaling records implies a decline in Antarctic ice extent by as much as 25% between the mid-1950s and the early 1970s. A marked warming trend is...
Sea ice extent and the global climate system主要由Chad Dick编写,在2003年被《Polar Research》收录,原文总共4页。
Globally,sea ice extent in August was about 550,000 square miles less than the previous record low,set in August 2019. "We've seen unheard-of warmth in the global ocean,and that's definitely alarming because its effects(7)___ beyond just the scope of the ocean," Bartow-Gillies said....
Global Warming and Northern Hemisphere Sea Ice Extent.Presents information on a study which analyzed the degree of impact of global warming on the decrease of sea ice extent in Northern Hemisphere during the past 46 years. Sources of observations in the determination of sea ice extent; Methodology...
35. The North Pacific has been identified as the dominant moisture source to this region of the Arctic in recent decades44, where enhanced moisture transport is associated with accelerated sea-ice retreat45,46. Furthermore, the unprecedented decline in Arctic sea-ice extent in 2007 has been ...

A large increase of continental and marine aerosols is explained by a more vigorous large scale atmospheric circulation associated with changing continental deserts and shelves as well as changes in sea ice extent. The drastic climatic change occurring at the last glacial termination is correlated with...
