HERE is a lecture by Dr. Jennifer Francis, Rutgers U. documenting the connection between the loss of Arctic ice due to global warming, slower moving jet streams with larger meandering amplitudes, and increases in extreme weather.

This is a decrease from the average rate of ice loss for June 2010 of -85,210 square kilometers per day, and is slower than climatology (average of -84,050 square kilometers per day for 1979 - 2000).

There was virtually no ice loss during June in the East Siberian Sea and ice loss in the Laptev Sea remained slower than normal (Figure 7).

In stark contrast to the relatively slow ice loss during June, July saw quite rapid ice loss (Figure 6), with rates averaging over 100,000 km2 per day through the month.

Further, it only took one month of persistent wind conditions to slow the rate of sea ice loss, resulting in an increase in 2009 sea ice extent compared to 2007 and 2008.

Southern Ocean surface cooling, while lower latitudes are warming, increases precipitation on the Southern Ocean, increasing ocean stratification, slowing deepwater formation, and increasing ice sheet mass loss.

Interestingly this year, while July ice loss rates were rapid in the central Arctic, melt out of the seasonal ice in Hudson and Baffin bays was slow with the ice cover persisting longer than in recent years.

Loss rate for May and June 2013 sea ice extent was slower than May and June 2010 and 2011 and slower than June in 2012 (Figure 3).

In this way Antarctica undergoes rapid ice loss followed by periods of slower recuperation depending on regional rates of snow accumulation.

Since this effect would not depend on slow rates of thermal diffusion though frozen sediments, but instead by a simple loss of ice, which could occur more quickly, such hydrates might be more vulnerable to destabilization than hydrates buried under permafrost.

When the Arctic freezes over the ice insulates the sea and slows the heat loss from the N pole, when the Arctic ocean has less ice then more heat radiates off to space.

Warming in the oceans hasn't slowed, and other impacts have accelerated — including Arctic ice melt, mass loss in ice sheets and glaciers, and a dramatic increase in heat waves around the world.

«Second, in contrast to the previously reported slowing in the rate during the past two decades1, our corrected GMSL data set indicates an acceleration in sea - level rise (independent of the VLM used), which is of opposite sign to previous estimates and comparable to the accelerated loss of ice from Greenland and to recent projections, and larger than the twentieth - century acceleration.

To summarise the arguments presented so far concerning ice - loss in the arctic basin, at least four mechanisms must be recognised: (i) a momentum - induced slowing of winter ice formation, (ii) upward heat - flux from anomalously warm Atlantic water through the surface low ‐ salinity layer below the ice, (iii) wind patterns that cause the export of anomalous amounts of drift ice through the Fram Straits and disperse pack - ice in the western basin and (iv) the anomalous flux of warm Bering Sea water into the eastern Arctic of the mid 1990s.

However, the rate of ice loss accelerated in July, and faster than normal loss rates continued through August, a transition month when ice losses typically begins to slow.

«Much of our confidence stems from the fact that our model does well at predicting slow changes in ocean heat transport and sea surface temperature in the sub-polar North Atlantic, and these appear to impact the rate of sea ice loss.

Ice loss during the second half of August was in fact the slowest observed during the last decade, resulting in the observed, unexceptional September sea ice extent being recorded despite the extremely low ice conditions present at the start of the summIce loss during the second half of August was in fact the slowest observed during the last decade, resulting in the observed, unexceptional September sea ice extent being recorded despite the extremely low ice conditions present at the start of the summice extent being recorded despite the extremely low ice conditions present at the start of the summice conditions present at the start of the summer.

Simply extrapolating historical trends also does not account for feedbacks in the system, such as the negative ice thickness - ice growth rate feedback identified by Bitz and Roe (2004) that can slow the ice volume rate of loss.

Loss of land ice by direct melting is also expected to be slow and steady.

There was no robust early warning signal of critical slowing down prior to this bifurcation, consistent with it representing the appearance of a new ice cover state rather than the loss of stability of the existing state.

The Arctic scientists I've read expect more permafrost loss, more erosion, slowing of the jet stream (more extreme weather), more land ice lost, potential slowing / disruption of the THC, more Arctic amplification.

(2) A steady ongoing ice loss from ice sheets is added in — this has nothing to do with modern warming but is a slow response to earlier climate changes.

The actual rate of increased ice loss is expected to be much slower, he said.

(I have posted repeatedly that the ice started melting when CO2 was barely over 300, so to not only slow, but stabilize ice loss, we must go below 300.)

One season's weather could either speed up or slightly slow down the loss of Arctic sea ice this year, but it will not change the climate trend and the basic causes of warming.

Higher greenhouse - gas emissions would lead to faster ice loss, and lower emissions could slow down the meltdown.

The average surface air temperature for the year ending September 2017 is the 2nd warmest since 1900; however, cooler spring and summer temperatures contributed to a rebound in snow cover in the Eurasian Arctic, slower summer sea ice loss, and below - average melt extent for the Greenland ice sheet.

As in 2010, the August outlook is more conservative than the July update, reflecting the slow - down of ice loss during the month of August.

As discussed in the July Outlook, low sea level pressure (SLP) dominated the Arctic Ocean in July, leading to ice divergence and cooler temperatures that helped to slow the fast pace of ice loss observed in May and June.

As a result, ice extent loss slowed.

That the radiated energy of cold ice contributes to slowing heat loss from a person is not disputed.

July 2011 set a new record low for the month during the satellite data record despite a significant slowing down of ice loss during the latter half of the month as weather changed to cooler conditions.

The rate of West Antarctic ice loss has been ominously increasing, and there are fears that if too much goes, the slow and long - term process of ice sheet disintegration could accelerate.
