Very little happening in summer itself (as expected) as the melting ice surface and heat sensible heat gain in the mixed layer limit the surface air temperature change. (realclimate.org)
Can someone confirm that my reasoning is correct, and give me an idea of when the sudden change in 2008 ice surface area is likely to occur? (realclimate.org)
This change — reducing the amount of white, reflective ice surface — led to further warmth, in a feedback effect. (grist.org)
