Sentences with phrase «ice export does»

Not exact matches

What the ice actually does in a particular year depends upon the «forcings» (to misapply a term, perhaps) actually occurring — net ocean heat fluxes, net radiative fluxes, winds and currents (especially, but not exclusively, as they determine ice export to the North Atlantic.)

Thin ice makes it more difficult to rely on conventional wisdom, although this year has proven that a lack of melting momentum during May and June followed by weather conditions during July and August that do not favour melt / export / compaction can still prevent a record, even if volume was at a record low for much of the year.
