Sentences with phrase «mobile ice cover»

Their research examines the effects of more mobile ice cover since 2000.

An arctic ice pack that consists mostly of first - and second - year rather than multi-year sea ice, implies a thinner, more mobile ice cover relative to conditions five or more years ago.

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 volume of ice divergence has doubled since 2000 due to a more mobile ice cover as multiyear ice has declined, which can explain the drastic ice reduction in the Arctic Ocean in recent years.

Not exact matches

Now the team is packing up their tools and mobile labs so that they can be shipped out to the ice sheet for the real deal: Boring through a half - mile of ice covering Lake Whillans.

Skoda also claims the five - seat Rapid family car offers class - leading rear headroom (972 mm) and rear kneeroom (65 mm), as well as 19 «Simply Clever» features including four large door compartments, front seat pockets, an ice scraper in the fuel filler flap, a double - sided boot floor cover, two side boot compartments, a mobile phone holder and slots to secure the rear seatbelt buckles.

He notes that the sat photos show that cloud cover remains low and that the ice is very mobile at a time when the pack should be most firm (not really a surprise since ocean temps are much more important than air temps, and apparently it's the ocean temps that have been the largest factor in the recent sharp sea ice reduction).

Overall, the curve shown in Figure 4 is commensurate with the notion that a thinner arctic ice cover that is more mobile can lead to greater seasonal and interannual variability, with a potential loss in predictability.

Sampling areas were split according to their ice cover: North - West (less sea ice cover), South - East (larger amplitude in sea ice extent) and North - East / South - West (NESW) as bears from that zone are more mobile among all regions of Svalbard.

A combined lack of coherence in ice drift fields and reduced ice concentrations in April 2011 relative to April 2007 suggest that springtime ice dynamical contributions to fall sea ice extent may be associated with sea ice deformation and ridging within an increasingly mobile and fractured ice cover.
