For example, one new study shows that the melt ponds that form on top of sea ice floes in June and July can dramatically accelerate sea ice melt. (climatecentral.org)
These events made the ice pack vulnerable to accelerated melt, both through solar heating of open water and by melting of ice floes from warm ocean waters mixed into the sea ice field by the storm. (searcharcticscience.org)
