Closed contours over the Pacific Arctic support a
continued low
sea level pressure in that region, similar to Figure 9, which is not supportive of rapid
sea ice loss.
Lukovich et al. (Centre for Earth Observation Science, U. of Manitoba); 4.4 to 4.5; Heuristic - Dynamics The absence of a strong and persistent
sea level pressure high over the Beaufort in July together with the absence of spatial homogeneity in the springtime
sea ice drift fields suggest that
continued sea ice decline will be an artifact of increased temperatures and thermodynamic forcing rather than the considerable dynamical contributions seen in summer of 2007.
