Sentences with phrase «early seasonal ice»
With lack of multiyear ice, a normal or slightly below - normal thickness offshore ice cover (based on ice thickness flights earlier in the season) and coastal ice vulnerable to early break - up, ice conditions would favor a normal or somewhat early seasonal ice retreat.

The new seasonal menu will feature the bar's first foray into cocktails on - tap and a signature brunch cocktail menu, while bringing back signature cocktails introduced earlier this year, such as the ever popular Orchard Old Fashioned crafted with bourbon, housemade local Clear Creek Pear Brandy Syrup, Organic Baked Apple Bitters served over an ice sphere and the sexy apothecary bottled Northwest Negroni made with local Aviation gin.
«The combined sea ice data suggest that the seasonal Arctic sea ice cover was strongly reduced during most of the early Holocene and there appear to have been periods of ice free summers in the central Arctic Ocean.

This correlates with the general speed of seasonal ice reduction for the entire Arctic during July 2008 and 2007 and earlier as published on the NSIDC website.
This snowpack accumulation near the poles, which gets its water via the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that in turn rob it from equatorial latitudes of our oceans, also results in a reduction in the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and causes the spin rate to increase as evidenced in the recent history of the rate at which Leap Seconds are added to our calendar (see Wysmuller's Toucan Equation for more on this evidence that during this warm time with much greater polar humidity, earlier seasonal, later seasonal and heavier snows are beginning to move water vapor from the oceans to the poles to re-build the polar ice caps and lead us into a global cooling, while man - made CO2 continues to increase http://www.colderside.com/faq.htm).
Seasonal sea ice retreat in 2012 began with a major reduction event in early June (Figure 2) associated with persistent high pressure over the Beaufort Sea and low pressure over the Kara Sea, now referred to as the Arctic Dipole (AD) weather pattern (see discussion of the AD in previous Outlooks).
When seasonal ice retreat occurs early, low - albedo open water areas are exposed early, which gain a lot of energy from the sun.
Arctic sea ice in the Bering Sea and to the north of Greenland actually declined during February, a time when sea ice usually expands toward its seasonal maximum in early to mid-March.
For example, reductions in seasonal sea ice cover and higher surface temperatures may open up new habitat in polar regions for some important fish species, such as cod, herring, and pollock.128 However, continued presence of cold bottom - water temperatures on the Alaskan continental shelf could limit northward migration into the northern Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea off northwestern Alaska.129, 130 In addition, warming may cause reductions in the abundance of some species, such as pollock, in their current ranges in the Bering Sea131and reduce the health of juvenile sockeye salmon, potentially resulting in decreased overwinter survival.132 If ocean warming continues, it is unlikely that current fishing pressure on pollock can be sustained.133 Higher temperatures are also likely to increase the frequency of early Chinook salmon migrations, making management of the fishery by multiple user groups more challenging.134
Therefore at least some of any early ice and snow melt in the NH must be due to AGW, yet in justifying his theory he wants to count it all as a consequence of seasonal drift in insolation.
In the Chukchi and Beaufort seas, seasonal ice begins to add to the polar pack ice in early October.
Soot deposition causes earlier seasonal melting of mountain snow in ranges as different as the Himalayas of Asia and the Sierra Nevada of California, and it is also believed to be accelerating the melting of Arctic sea ice.
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.
