Sentences with phrase «increased ice export»

The head - turning decline in sea ice in 2007, for example, was caused mainly by sunny skies and a prolonged dipole: high pressures over the Beaufort Sea, combined with lows near Siberia, pulled in considerable warmth from the Pacific side and increased ice export to the Atlantic.

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.

The absence of anomalous features evident in 2007 in SLP and stratospheric and surface winds in spring in 2011 indicates that accelerated decline associated with the former will not be an artifact of dynamical phenomena, although a thinner and more mobile ice cover may lower the wind forcing threshold required for increased ice export.

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.

It's worth bearing in mind that despite the increase in area export, volume export through Fram shows no trend, e.g. Spreen et al: http://soa.arcus.org/abstracts/fram-strait-sea-ice-volume-export-estimated-between-2003-and-2008-satellite-data This is because the ice being exported has thinned even as area export has increased.

Long - term changes in atmospheric circulation have resulted in an increased amount of perennial sea ice being exported through Fram Strait rather than being recirculated (e.g., Beaufort Gyre); this was what set up the 2007 record September minimum.

Another side effect of the high pressure has been increased export of sea ice from the Central Arctic, as illustrated by this animation from «Wipneus» on the Arctic Sea Ice Forice from the Central Arctic, as illustrated by this animation from «Wipneus» on the Arctic Sea Ice ForIce Forum:

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.
