New way of measuring sea ice thickness could help assess how sea ice is affected by climate change

In the Antarctic, there is very sparse data on sea ice thickness — not enough to judge one way or another, leaving only climate modeling results to work with.

Obtaining circumpolar observations of Antarctic sea ice thickness is critical for both monitoring and predicting climate.»

The magnitude and spatial distribution of the high - latitude climate changes can be strongly affected by sea ice characteristics, but evaluation of sea ice in models is hampered by insufficient observations of some key variables (e.g., ice thickness)(see Section 4.4).

Stéphanie Jenouvrier, a biologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US, and colleagues from France and the Netherlands report in Nature Climate Change that changes in the extent and thickness of sea ice will create serious problems for a flightless, streamlined, survival machine that can live and even breed at minus 40 °C, trek across 120 kilometres of ice, and dive to depths of more than 500 metres.

Sea ice thickness and spatial extent change rapidly in response to seasonal changes and in response to longer - term climate changes.

The ensemble consists of seven members each of which uses a unique set of NCEP / NCAR atmospheric forcing fields from recent years, representing recent climate, such that ensemble member 1 uses 2005 NCEP / NCAR forcing, member 2 uses 2006 forcing..., and member 7 uses 2011 forcing...

Our results stress the importance of considering loss of sea ice thickness in future climate change assessments.

Arctic sea ice end - of - summer minimum area, although variable from year to year, has plummeted by more than a third in the past few decades, at a faster rate than in most models [21], with the sea ice thickness declining a factor of four faster than simulated in IPCC climate models [22].

Based on the understanding of both the physical processes that control key climate feedbacks (see Section 8.6.3), and also the origin of inter-model differences in the simulation of feedbacks (see Section 8.6.2), the following climate characteristics appear to be particularly important: (i) for the water vapour and lapse rate feedbacks, the response of upper - tropospheric RH and lapse rate to interannual or decadal changes in climate; (ii) for cloud feedbacks, the response of boundary - layer clouds and anvil clouds to a change in surface or atmospheric conditions and the change in cloud radiative properties associated with a change in extratropical synoptic weather systems; (iii) for snow albedo feedbacks, the relationship between surface air temperature and snow melt over northern land areas during spring and (iv) for sea ice feedbacks, the simulation of sea ice thickness.
