Sentences with phrase «arctic ice volume»

As long as the ice remains it can't heat water or the air over the arctic (which would be only small anyway) I suppose the only explanation is that in those few years when year over year arctic ice volume increases more Greenland ice melts.

But he also noted, «There is some indication from the QuickScat data that 2nd and 3rd year ice has increased somewhat in the past couple of years which may imply not so linear decline of arctic ice volume.»

So I wonder since it is all quiet about this year's ice volumes that possibly the avg arctic ice volume has recovered most of the 5500 gigatonnes of avg loss since 1979.

Not exact matches

Klazes (Public), 3.6 (95 % confidence interval of + / - 0.9), Statistical September extent is predicted using an estimated minimum value of the PIOMAS arctic sea ice volume and a simple model for volume - extent relationship.

Laxon, S. W., and coauthors (2013), CryoSat - 2 estimates of arctic sea ice thickness and volume, Geophys.

A good point as arctic regions that are hit with warmer water streams will prevent sea ice extent while those with colder ones can massivly increase in volume when the air is cold enough though no growth would be visible from the top down view.

The warm oceans and open arctic will keep the snow falling until there is enough ice volume to cause the next cool period.

The two - day FAMOS workshop will include sessions on 2017 sea ice highlights and sea ice / ocean predictions, reports of working groups conducting collaborative projects, large - scale arctic climate modeling (ice - ocean, regional coupled, global coupled), small (eddies) and very small (mixing) processes and their representation and / or parameterization in models, and new hypotheses, data sets, intriguing findings, proposals for new experiments and plans for 2018 FAMOS special volume of publications.

How do you bridge a divide with attendees like Steven Goddard (who believes that it snows dry ice in antarctica therefore proving all textbooks on physical chemistry wrong, and that arctic sea ice volume is drastically increasing), or Tallbloke (who rejects the last 90 - ish years of physics, starting with Einstein, and insists that the ether is real), etc etc?

Record droughts in many areas of the world, the loss of arctic sea ice — what you see is an increasing trend that is superimposed on annual variablity (no bets on what happens next year, but the five - to - ten year average in global temperatures, sea surface temperatures, ocean heat content — those will increase — and ice sheet volumes, tropical glacier volumes, sea ice extent will decrease.

MODELING OF FUTURE ARCTIC SEA ICE CHANGE «Given the estimated trend and the volume estimate for October — November of 2007 at less than 9,000 km3 (Kwok et al. 2009), one can project that at this rate it would take only 9 more years or until 2016 ± 3 years to reach a nearly ice - free Arctic Ocean in summer.»
