Not exact matches

The advancing ice could also bury some agricultural lands and make the planet an overall colder place, «likely reducing the total amount of habitable area on Earth,» Haqq - Misra wrote in a paper laying out the thought experiment.

AWI researchers observed a considerable decrease in the thickness of the sea ice as early as the late summer of 2015, even though the overall ice covered area of the September minimum ultimately exceeded the record low of 2012 by approximately one million square kilometres.

While temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere were warmer than average during the summers, the tropics and areas of the Southern Hemisphere were colder than average which comprised an average global temperature still overall lower than present day temperatures Northwestern North America had peak warmth first, from 11,000 to 9,000 years ago, while the Laurentide ice sheet still chilled the continent.

As a result, the changes in ice area don't make that much of a change in overall all albedo.

They explain how, overall, Antarctic sea ice cover (frozen sea surface), for separate reasons involving wind changing in relation to the location of certain warming sea water currents, shows a slight upward trend, though it also shows significant melting in some areas.

Reasoning for a decrease in sea ice extent from recent years, perhaps approaching new record - low minimum, focuses on the below - normal sea ice thickness overall, the thinning of sea ice in coastal seas, rotting of old multi-year sea ice, warm temperatures in April and May 2010, and the rapid loss of sea ice area seen during May.

Reasoning for a new record minimum focuses on the below - normal ice thickness overall, the thinning of sea ice in coastal seas, rotting of old multi-year sea ice, and the rapid loss of sea ice area seen during May.

This NASA report - the most recent available - shows «that 2007 marked an overall rise in the melting trend over the entire Greenland ice sheet and, remarkably, melting in high - altitude areas was greater than ever at 150 percent more than average.»

The evidence for AGW covers a number of areas: increases in CO2 levels, overall warming, a rise in sea levels, falls in snow cover, receding glaciers, a decrease in Arctic ice, earlier springs, treelines moving towards the poles.

The sea ice recovery is just some natural variation on the overall trend of decreasing sea ice volume, extent and area.

Researchers are still hunting for plausible reasons why the area of Antarctic sea ice for May was an above - average 4.64 million square miles (12.03 million square kilometers), according to the NSIDC, despite the multi-year overall increase in global surface temperatures.

Monaghan et al. further note «recent literature suggests there has been little overall change in Antarctic near - surface temperature during the past 5 decades» and «the absence of widespread Antarctic temperature increases is consistent with studies showing little overall change in other Antarctic climate indicators during the past 50 years such as sea ice area and snowfall.»

This is not because there was not thicker winter sea ice near Iceland (there was), but because that was more than compensated by sea ice losses in less accessible areas so that overall sea ice extent declined in that period (albeit, slowly):

It's true, of course, that the Transpolar Drift tends to accumulate ice in the area we've been discussing, but that hardly means that it is going to slow the overall melt any.

If the combination of climate and ice dynamics determines that the glacier is advancing, the advance of the glacier terminus expands the overall glacier area.
