This too supports this hypothesis since the greater difficulty in forming cores without the presence of ice would hamper the formation of large planets.

On December 1, 2009, two astronomers submitted a pre-print suggesting that the planet's extreme axial tilt (an obliquity of 97 degrees) may have resulted from the presence of a large moon that has since been ejected from orbit around the ice giant by the pull of another planet during the orbital migration of the giant planets early in the formation of the Solar System.

Through hyper - saturated canvases, Simonson magnifies the vibrantly colored crystalline ice formations, dizzying vistas, and unexpected creatures that she encountered while scuba diving daily beneath the world's largest expanse of sea ice off the Antarctic coast.

Chapman also says part of the reason for the large ice loss in 2007 was strong winds from Siberia, which affect both ice formation and drift, forcing ice into warmer waters where it melts.

The GSA seems to have originated from a large discharge of ice from the Arctic to the key deep water formation regions of the North Atlantic.

For some unexplained reason there have been a large number of coronal holes on the surface of the sun, in low latitude positions during solar magnetic cycle 24, however due to the reduction in the solar wind density the solar wind bursts have less effect on cloud modulation which explains why there has suddenly be an increase sea ice in the Antarctic, a recovery of sea ice in the Arctic, and an inhibiting of the formation of El Niño events.

Large areas had open water with no indication of grease ice formation, implying considerable ocean heat storage.

The group found that the icy winds blowing off Antarctica, as well as a powerful ocean current that circles the frozen continent, are much larger factors in the formation and persistence of Antarctic sea ice than changes in temperature.

Clean air causing greater supersaturate larger droplets size, more ice and mixed phase cloud formation etc. etc..

Because of their large size, tabular icebergs often travel great distances, and their movement can affect ocean circulation, the formation of bottom water (the dense layer of water at the very bottom of the ocean) and sea ice, and the productivity of life - forms in their path.

When a climate forcing, or a slow climate feedback such as ice sheet formation, occurs in one hemisphere, the temperature change is much larger in the hemisphere with the forcing (cf. examples in Hansen et al. [66]-RRB-.

If you look again at my NCM you will see that by attributing an influence to the sun a large number of real world observations fit into a coherent overall picture going back into the last ice age and potentially back to the first formation of the oceans.
