Mori et al. identified two circulation patterns that drove winter temperatures in Eurasia from 1979 to 2013: the Arctic Oscillation (which confines colder air to the polar latitudes) and a pattern dubbed «Warm Arctic and Cold Eurasia» (WACE), which correlated both to sea - ice loss in the Barents - Kara Sea and to particularly cold winters; its impact has more than doubled the probability of severe winters in central Eurasia.

Velicogna and her colleagues also measured a dramatic loss of Greenland ice, as much as 38 cubic miles per year between 2002 and 2005 — even more troubling, given that an influx of fresh melt water into the salty North Atlantic could in theory shut off the system of ocean currents that keep Europe relatively warm.

If the polar cod population in the Barents Sea actually does shrink, the juvenile fish under the ice of the Eastern Arctic could become even more important — especially in order to make up for losses elsewhere.

After two decades of rapid ice loss, concerns are arising over how much more ice will be lost to the ocean in the future.

«I've accepted that the loss of sea ice, not subsistence [hunting of the animal] or the oil and gas industries, is the reason for the threat to the polar bears,» which are already protected by the more stringent Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, Kempthorne said.

They then used the satellite record of Arctic sea ice extent to calculate the rates of sea ice loss and then projected those rates into the future, to estimate how much more the sea ice cover may shrink in approximately three polar bear generations, or 35 years.

Overall, the amount of melting wasn't a blockbuster — 2012 was a more impressive year for ice loss.

With the loss of ice, the seabed's natural resources become potentially more obtainable and its bordering nations more interested.

Loss of ice would mean more mercury in the air would land directly on water, instead of bouncing back as a gas.

«It doesn't change our estimates of the total mass loss all over Greenland by that much, but it brings a more significant change to our understanding of where within the ice sheet that loss has happened, and where it is happening now.»

Totten Glacier, one of East Antarctica's largest ocean outlets, is already thinning — an ominous sign, since this single glacier drains enough ice to raise the sea level more than all of West Antarctica's ice loss would.

He says previous predictive models of Greenland's ice loss did not adequately take into account the faster movement of its southern glaciers, which is accelerating the amount of ice entering the ocean: «Greenland is probably going to contribute more to sea level rise, and faster than predicted by these models.»

Sea ice and snow cover loss create a feedback look that can accelerate global warming; with fewer reflective surfaces on the planet, more sunlight can thereby be absorbed, driving surface temperatures even higher, the scientists explained.

The recent string of record - low winter maximums could be a sign that the large summer losses are starting to show up more in other seasons, with an increasingly delayed fall freeze - up that leaves less time for sea ice to accumulate in winter, Julienne Stroeve, an NSIDC scientist and University College London professor, previously said.

Scientists are looking at the link between the loss of Arctic sea ice and how it affects weather in lower latitudes, but more research is needed.

It's a research approach new to glaciology that could lead to more accurate predictions for ice - mass loss and global sea - level rise.

By 1900, increased emissions of soot could have triggered the loss of more than 15 m of ice from a glacier's surface; by 1930, the loss could have totaled 30 m or more — magnitudes and timing that can easily account for the Alpine glacial retreat, the scientists contend.

Previous studies have suggested that Arctic sea - ice loss causes the NAO to spend longer in its «negative phase» - generating more easterly winds that bring colder air from Scandinavia and Siberia to the UK.

The dramatic loss of Arctic sea ice through climate change is unlikely to lead to more severe winter weather across Northern Europe, new research has shown.

Because of this it has been reasonable to think that we would experience more severe winter weather if Arctic sea - ice loss intensifies the negative phase of the NAO».

«While more research should be done, we should be aware that an increasing number of studies, including this one, suggest that the loss of Arctic sea ice cover is not only a problem for remote Arctic communities, but could affect millions of people worldwide.»

Loss of ice cover in the Arctic could spur more droughts in California, according to a new study by federal researchers.

«This research indicates that although sea - ice loss does intensify the negative NAO, bringing more days of cold easterly winds, it also causes those same winds to be warmer than they used to be.

The difference could point to a problem with the models, which attempt to account for effects such as the loss of glaciers and ice caps and the fact that a warming ocean takes up more space.

And if ice loss continues to accelerate in the warming Arctic, this effect may only become more pronounced in the future.

Antarctica contains more than 90 % of the world's ice, and the loss of any significant part of it would cause a substantial sea level rise.

Since 1979, winter sea ice extent has decreased 3.2 percent per decade (the loss is much more pronounced in summer at a rate of 13.4 percent per decade).

Almost half of this came from ice loss in the Arctic and, of course, more is expected in the coming years.

The findings also show that the loss of ice from calving has remained more or less constant through the 20th century, says Dr Ruth Mottram, a climate scientist at the Danish Meteorological Institute who wasn't involved in the study.

This causes further warming, which in turn causes more sea ice loss, and so on.

But from an email conversation with Francis, Vavrus, and several other atmospheric scientists this week, it became clear that there may be more questions than answers at this point, given the large amount of natural variability that affects winter weather patterns, and the very short observational record of how the atmosphere responded to extreme losses of sea ice (only five winters of records since 2007).

I ask many questions about the process of ice melt in Antarctica, rather than the more popularly reported loss of ice in the Arctic.
