Sentences with phrase «ice volume»

How large of a role has ocean warming been playing in the rapid loss of sea ice volume there?

After 2007, there was another step loss in ice volume in 2010.

These changes are dominated by the amount of ice volume change.

This emphasizes that over the last 5 million years, we've also seen an increase in the size of the fluctuations of global ice volume.

At that point, ice volume on land is still advancing and the cold time will be similar to a little ice age.

Perhaps this mechanism contributes to acceleration in ice volume loss between 1979 and the present.

To notice something is going on with the world's ice sheets, you could measure melting water runoff, glacier retreat or use satellites and GPS to measure ice volume decline.

It seems that larger ice volumes hit their minimum earlier in the year.

Is there any correction to account for surface heat instead of surface T by considering the melted ice volume?

This maintains the temperature bounds by adjusting ice volume and ice extent.

Ice extent, she said, will exhibit considerable variability even after the arrival of ice - free summers, whereas ice volume trends would be more consistent.

These records provide both a direct measure of sea level and an indirect measure of global ice volume.

A change in ice volume one day leads to a change in the same direction in the next day.

Right now, the trend for sea ice volume is down.

As one can see, there's about 2000 cubic kilometers (2 trillion cubic meters) more ice volume than there was a year earlier and in 2016.

From my position of somebody who has studied the Arctic for many years and has been actively participating in submarine measurements of the Arctic ice thickness since 1976, it seems extraordinary to me that for Prof. Slingo can effectively rule out these PIOMAS data in her consideration of the evidence for decreasing ice volume, when one considers the vast effort and diligence that has been invested....»

But he also noted, «There is some indication from the QuickScat data that 2nd and 3rd year ice has increased somewhat in the past couple of years which may imply not so linear decline of arctic ice volume.»

The most important of these occurred during the latest Miocene (t = ∼ 5 m.y. ago) when ice volumes increased beyond those of the present day.

If one takes the simple view that deglaciation is forced by only global ice volume change and greenhouse feedbacks, then one would be forced to conclude that Antarctic temperature change led all of its forcings!

Scientific observations show that in the Arctic, warming temperatures have led to a 75 % loss in sea ice volume since the 1980s, and recent reports suggest the Arctic Ocean will be nearly free of summer sea ice by 2050, said Sullivan.

In the last decades, the maximum summer melt is around 21,000 km3, but practically the same anount refreezes in winter (the Arctic winter ice volume has a smaller decline than summer ice).

Sea ice volume measurements, which take ice thickness into account, also hit a record low this year.
