They, however, didn't seem to be considering ramifications for anything else but sea ice distribution. (dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com)
Closer to home, Heller and Pudritz modelled the early life of Jupiter, revealing a pattern of ice distribution on Jupiter's moons that led them to predict the formation of moons around the super-Jupiters of other solar systems. (sciencedaily.com)
At the same time, the range of ensemble simulations from sea ice models mentioned above shows how capricious weather patterns — such as the one observed in 2007 — can help drive anomalous ice distribution patterns in any one year. (searcharcticscience.org)
