Rennie (Public), 3.20 (2.50 - 3.80), Heuristic Starting with the April PIOMAS volume distribution and the April NSIDC average ice extent the estimated extent loss for each 10 cm thickness of ice loss is calculated.

Starting with the April Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) volume distribution and the April National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) average ice extent the estimated extent loss for each 10 cm thickness of ice loss is calculated.

Not exact matches

The two papers don't mention any velocity changes due to increased slope, but they do record that at elevations above 1500 - 2000 m, the ice has been growing in thickness by about 5 - 6 cm / yr, whereas below the 1500m level there's been a thinning of about -2 cm / yr.

Having said that, it is a really small effect — if the entire Arctic summer sea ice pack melted (average thickness 2 metres, density ~ 920 kg / m3, area 3 × 10 ^ 6 km ^ 2 (0.8 % total ocean area) = > a 4.5 cm rise instantly which implies a global sea level rise of 0.36 mm.

After all, the Ice between Greenland and Canada saw an additional 20 cm of thickness due to the exceptionally cold winter.

In our 2010 SIO estimate, it was found that the CFSv2 sea ice extent seemed too excessive (due to too thick ice in the initial condition), and the extent confined within 60 cm of ice thickness matches the real time observation.

The most recent ice data, 10 June 2013, from a SAMS ice mass balance buoy installed in the fast ice in Inglefieldbukta (N 77 ° 54», E 18 ° 17») reported an ice thickness of about 88 cm and snow depth 20 cm.

If this thinning would have eliminated ice from areas observed to have sea ice, a minimum thickness of 20 cm was left in place for the ice initial condition.

If this thinning would have eliminated ice from areas observed to have sea ice, a minimum thickness of 20 cm was left in place.

The ice at the buoy, starting at a thickness of roughly 1.28 m, lost 3 cm of ice at the bottom and 20 cm of ice at the top in June.

These in turn suggest that decreases in ice thickness of < 30 cm may be attributable to this flux, rather than to the supposed consequence of a warming atmosphere over the Arctic Ocean.

Seymour Laxon of the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling said the thickness of the ice could now be measured to an accuracy of 10 cm (3.5 in).

The research, reported in Geophysical Research Letters, showed that last winter the average thickness of sea ice over the whole Arctic fell by 26 cm (10 %) compared with the average thickness of the previous five winters, but sea ice in the western Arctic lost around 49 cm of thickness.

Last winter the average thickness of sea ice over the whole Arctic fell by 26 cm (10 %) compared with the average thickness of the previous five winters, but sea ice in the western Arctic lost around 49 cm of thickness.
