Joughin's and Tulaczyk's paper, published
in Science
in 2002, documents an
increase in ice mass for one
region of the WAIS called the Ross
Sea Sector.
The findings suggest that the Indo - Pacific area would see a 40 per cent
increase in fisheries catches at 1.5 C warming versus 3.5 C. Meanwhile the Arctic
region would have a greater influx of fish under the 3.5 C scenario but would also lose more
sea ice and face pressure to expand fisheries.
Something that goes along with this change
in atmospheric circulation is reduced
sea ice in the
region (while
sea ice in Antarctica has been
increasing on average, there have been significant declines off the West Antarctic coast for the last 25 years, and probably longer).

When the Arctic
sea ice goes the
increase in water vapour
in the Arctic
region will accelerate the Greenland melt.
Greenland as an high altitude inlandsis seems to be very special compared to these
regions, and probably has more inertia towards meting, as the center isolated from
sea influence and accumulate
ice form
increasing precipitations.I don't really remenber what models predict
in Greenland, but it doesn't confuse me if the response is not temporally and geographically the same as other
regions.
The Antarctic
ice increase is occurring
in a limited
region near the Ross
Sea, and is related to the ozone hole through a fairly complicated change
in atmospheric dynamics.
So, the positive feedback between melt and velocities implies that more melt leads to higher velocities, which bring
in more
ice from cold
regions to warm
regions which
increases the melt and hence the velocity etc, with as a final result a rapid loss of
ice and hence an enhanced
increased sea level.
Australian Antarctic Division glaciology program head Ian Allison said
sea ice losses in west Antarctica over the past 30 years had been more than offset by increases in the Ross Sea region, just one sector of east Antarcti
sea ice losses

increases in the Ross
Sea region, just one sector of east Antarcti
Sea region, just one sector of east Antarctica.
Moreover, the
increase in atmospheric water vapor content
in the Arctic
region during late autumn and winter driven locally by the reduction of
sea ice provides enhanced moisture sources, supporting
increased heavy snowfall
in Europe during early winter, and the northeastern and mid-west United States during winter.
A good point as arctic
regions that are hit with warmer water streams will prevent
sea ice extent while those with colder ones can massivly
increase in volume when the air is cold enough though no growth would be visible from the top down view.
Sea ice melt is creating an opening for new commercial opportunities
in the
region, including
increased ship traffic.
So an
increased GHG effect should manifest
in the polar
regions in a decrease
in winter
sea ice extent and a smaller
increase in summer
sea ice extent relative to the winter maximum extent (ie a smaller annual range
in sea ice extent).
Further investigation of
ice thickness and free
ice drift conditions,
in addition to persistence of SLP maxima, will provide further insight as to whether convergence (divergence) of
sea ice associated with SLP highs (lows) will give rise to increased ice retreat in the Arctic and the Beaufort Sea region in particul
sea ice associated with SLP highs (lows) will give rise to

Sea region in particular.
While the overall
sea ice extent
in the Southern Ocean has not changed markedly
in recent decades, there have been
increases in oceanic temperatures and large regional decreases
in winter
sea ice extent and duration
in the western Antarctic Peninsula
region of West Antarctica and the islands of the Scotia Arc.
(b) A more vigorous atmospheric circulation
in the
region of the Norwegian
Sea would explain the observed facts, namely the recession of the
ice - limit, the
increased frequency of south - westerly winds, rather than south - easterly,
in North Norway, and the consequent marked rise
in winter temperatures which has attained its greatest magnitude
in the north of the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Climate change is the long - term average of a
region's weather events lumped together.There are some effects of greenhouse gases and global warming: melting of
ice caps, rising
sea levels, change
in climatic patterns, spread diseases, economic consequences,
increased droughts and heat waves.
Polar bears are one of the most sensitive Arctic marine mammals to climate warming because they spend most of their lives on
sea ice.35 Declining sea ice in northern Alaska is associated with smaller bears, probably because of less successful hunting of seals, which are themselves ice - dependent and so are projected to decline with diminishing ice and snow cover.36, 37,38,39 Although bears can give birth to cubs on sea ice, increasing numbers of female bears now come ashore in Alaska in the summer and fall40 and den on land.41 In Hudson Bay, Canada, the most studied population in the Arctic, sea ice is now absent for three weeks longer than just a few decades ago, resulting in less body fat, reduced survival of both the youngest and oldest bears, 42 and a population now estimated to be in decline43 and projected to be in jeopardy.44 Similar polar bear population declines are projected for the Beaufort Sea region

For example, reductions
in seasonal sea ice cover and higher surface temperatures may open up new habitat in polar regions for some important fish species, such as cod, herring, and pollock.128 However, continued presence of cold bottom - water temperatures on the Alaskan continental shelf could limit northward migration into the northern Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea off northwestern Alaska.129, 130 In addition, warming may cause reductions in the abundance of some species, such as pollock, in their current ranges in the Bering Sea131and reduce the health of juvenile sockeye salmon, potentially resulting in decreased overwinter survival.132 If ocean warming continues, it is unlikely that current fishing pressure on pollock can be sustained.133 Higher temperatures are also likely to increase the frequency of early Chinook salmon migrations, making management of the fishery by multiple user groups more challenging.1

Population
increase of polar bears on Svalbard and decrease
in sea -
ice cover
in the Arctic
region during summer probably results
in more frequent interactions with reindeer on the archipelago.
As the Arctic
sea ice melts, the water vapor delivered into the the atmosphere
increases in the polar
region, and so does the snowfall, so that the whole thing starts over again.
Moreover, significant trends
in sensible heat and evaporation rates are evident

The amount of detrital petrological tracers transported by icebergs and deposited
in the
ice - rafted debris belt (an Atlantic
region between 40 - 50 ° N) greatly
increases during episodes of southward and eastward advection of cold surface waters and drift
ice from the Nordic and Labrador
seas (Bond et al., 2001; figure 48 A).
It is widely recognized that modern Arctic
region sea ice concentrations are considerably more advanced today than they were a few thousand years ago, with most studied
regions showing the
increase in sea ice extent occurring «over the last centuries».
The
sea ice loss - related
increase in open water north of Siberia can contribute to
increased fall snowfall
in that
region.
Model studies suggest that a collapse of the AMOC could lead to a reduction
in surface air temperature of around 1 - 3 °C
in the North Atlantic
region and surrounding land masses, but with local cooling of up to 8 °C
in areas of
increased sea ice (Vellinga and Wood, 2002; Vellinga et al 2002; Manabe and Stouffer; 1997; Jacob et al 2005).
Moreover, the
increase in atmospheric water vapor content
in the Arctic
region during late autumn and winter driven locally by the reduction of
sea ice provides enhanced moisture sources, supporting
increased heavy snowfall
in Europe during early winter and the northeastern and midwestern United States during winter.
B) Arctic
sea ice maximums do have a near - physical limit: The Arctic Ocean shores limit
sea ice once the
region ices over, and any
increase in maximum must occur
in very, very small
regions down the east and west shores of Greenland,
in the narrow gap between Asia and North American continents, etc..
Researchers have now linked the loss of
sea ice in the Arctic
region, along with an
increase in snow cover
in northern Asia, to a weaker polar vortex.
«
Ice sheets now appear to be contributing modestly to
sea level rise because warming has
increased mass loss from coastal areas more than warming has
increased mass gain from enhanced snowfall
in cold central
regions,» the report by a team led by Professor Richard Alley of Pennsylvania State University
in the US says.
