(Keep in mind that almost all Arctic sea ice researchers add a big caveat when talking of an «ice - free Arctic Ocean,» noting that a big region of thick floes north and west of Greenland will almost surely persist in summers through this century, which is one reason some scientists have proposed targeting polar bear conservation efforts there.)

-LRB-- NAO) This sea ice then melts in the Sub Polar Atlantic, releasing fresh water into the sub - polar Atlantic waters, which in turn impedes the formation of NADW, which slows down the thermohaline circulation causing warm air not to be brought up from the lower latitudes as far north as previous while in lessening amounts.

And it is known that the southern polar regions «see - saws» with the northern — so when the north polar is on the up cycle — the south polar in on a downer (Bob Tisdale's graph of the southern ocean SSTs shows this clearly for the «global warming» period of 1980 - 2005 — and the Peninsula Region just catches a flow - in from warmer seas to the north).

Franz Josef Land provides the most stable sea ice habitat for Barents Sea polar bears because it is largely beyond the influence of warm water influxes from the North Atlantsea ice habitat for Barents Sea polar bears because it is largely beyond the influence of warm water influxes from the North AtlantSea polar bears because it is largely beyond the influence of warm water influxes from the North Atlantic.

«During aerial surveys in September 1987 — 2003, a total of 315 live polar bears were observed with 12 (3.8 %) animals in open water, defined for purposes of this analysis as marine waters > 2 km north of the Alaska Beaufort Sea coastline or associated barrier islands.

The Arctic sea - ice has long passed its tipping point, and so also have the other critical features in the polar north.

This in turn is influenced by sea level pressure patterns in polar and subpolar regions — as more or less wind and currents are pushed north (Roemmich et al, 2007, Qiu, Bo et al 2006).

In autumn 1939 naval activities squeezed the heat out of the seas more quickly, freeing the way for polar air from the high North and Northeast.

Melting polar ice in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, coupled with melting ice sheets and glaciers across Greenland, North America, South America, Europe and Asia, are expected to raise sea levels significantly.

Hi iceman, Sorry for the tardy reply, that pesky real life thing again...:) The reason there is so little excitement about the record high sea ice extent in the antarctic (aside from it having no appealing potential victims, like polar bears) versus the record low arctic sea ice is probably because the southern record is only a matter of 2 % anamoly, whereas in the north we are now looking at levels over 40 % below average.

And sea ice dwindled to record low levels in both the Arctic and Antarctic, with the north polar region warming twice as fast as the global average.
