A recent study by NSIDC scientists Mark Serreze, Julienne Stroeve, and Alexander Crawford, along with University of Washington scientist Rebecca Woodgate, demonstrates strong links
between seasonal sea ice retreat and advance in the Chukchi Sea and the inflow of ocean heat into the region through the Bering Strait.

We were particularly interested in the nature of this relationship because of the hypothesized
seasonal movement of krill to inshore waters around the Antarctic Peninsula in winter, rapid changes in the climate and
sea ice patterns of the Antarctic peninsula [15], [16] and the known relationships
between baleen whales and krill.
Judah Cohen, a climate forecaster at Atmospheric and Environmental Research in Massachusetts, who issues
seasonal snowfall forecasts several months in advance for his company's clients, said the relationship
between sea ice loss and the Arctic Oscillation is a key area for future research to focus on.
This is likely because we maximized the covariance
between the
sea ice field and the atmospheric circulation by restricting our time averaging to the
seasonal mean and restricting our spatial domain to 0 ° — 180 ° W and 30 ° — 75 ° S. Inevitably, indices calculated from local data will explain more local variance than those based on remote data.

Our own model would say
between 2040 and 2060, and it is fair to say that our view is that the earlier dates - in other words, the more pessimistic outlook for the Arctic - are associated with models that we believe are more credible, in terms of their capability to reproduce the observed
seasonal cycle in
sea ice extent, and also the variations in
sea ice from year to year.
