My question for the model builders is, do your models produce a rapid decline in sea - ice such as we are seeing and what happens to the climate as a result?

So, I was curious about your recent paper and whether there was any discussion of changes in the THC poleward of the GIS shelf vs the data from the RAPID program line located at 26.5 N. With the decline in minimum extent and volume of sea - ice, one might expect to see more THC sinking into the Arctic Ocean, with consequences for both climate and weather.

For example, recent results from the Met Office do show that there is a detectable human impact in the long - term decline in sea ice over the past 30 years, and all the evidence points to a complete loss of summer sea ice much later this century.

For much of the season, the sea ice was tracking close to long - term norms, though it had a precipitous decline in July, and is now almost two standard deviations away from the long - term average.

Thus, even though the ice extent is about equal to the long term average right now, for summer weather typical of the past few years, the decline in ice area will be more rapid than in other years.
