Sentences with phrase «ice export»

As indeed you would expect, especially since the winds were even more favorable for ice export in the early 90's.

The subsequent increase in multiyear sea ice culminated during the past 2500 years and is linked to an increase in ice export from the western Arctic and higher variability of ice - drift routes.

Gudmandsen provides a more detailed analysis of ice export from the Lincoln Sea north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago into Baffin Bay, through Nares Strait between Greenland and Canada.

In terms of wind conditions, weak, southerly mean winds over the Fram Strait would presumably have reduced ice export out of the Arctic.

The annual cycle of melting and refreezing does nothing, but a net sea ice export does (as it continually exports freshwater and thus provides a mean salinity enhancement).

The paper shows that the annual ice export or flushing has not changed significantly over the last ten years.

A. Ice export is part of the annual cycle of growth, export and melt.

The instabilities in the ice drift patterns broadly favor ice export via Fram Strait.

Fram Strait sea ice export variability and September Arctic sea ice extent over the last 80 years.

In addition, there is a sea level pressure (SLP) ridge over Greenland that drives strong northerly winds through the Fram Strait, facilitating ice export.

Arctic Oscillation has tended towards a state with lower than average ice export through Fram Strait, but that may be moderating.

Discussion has focused on the vulnerability of the ice pack from long - term thinning, this year's strong negative winter Arctic Oscillation (AO) state and its influence on ice export and winter temperatures, the fast pace of ice loss in May 2010, and the importance of the unpredictable summer weather conditions.

At the workshop and from recent publications, there is near consensus that the 2007 sea ice minimum was due to the combination of almost two decades of preconditioning (thinning and increased ice export) plus a rare supportive weather pattern in summer 2007.

Hilmer, M., and T. Jung, 2000: Evidence for a recent change in the link between the North Atlantic Oscillation and Arctic sea ice export.

In contrast with last year he notes that episodes of ice export, stopped by formation of temporary ice bridges, led to an influx of multiyear ice into Nares Strait, which will slow down melt and ice retreat later in the season.

In spring 2011 and early winter 2011 - 2012, a large positive Arctic Oscillation (AO) has returned that can contribute to further Fram Strait sea ice export; this impact is something to consider for summer 2012.

The ice export through Fram Strait has shown no significant trend during the past 30 years (Kwok, Spreen et al., and others).

The atmospheric patterns were less conducive to melt and (apparently) ice export than in 2007, so a new record was averted.

The roughly factor of two increase in speed shown is partly due to decreases in ice thickness and strength, but it is safe to predict that if cyclonic storm events like this one ending 2015 continue penetrating the eastern Arctic Ocean, they will increase ice export and reduce summer 2016 ice extent.
