The rapid disappearance of sea ice cover can have consequences that are felt all over the Northern Hemisphere, due to the effects it has on atmospheric patterns.

Unprecedented warm temperatures lead to the loss of more than half of the sea ice cover in the Bering Sea in two weeks, resulting in record lows for Arctic Ocean sea ice extent for the month of February.

In a new paper, researchers conclude that changes in sensible heat transfer and evaporation fluxes — in response to strong regional trends in the air - surface temperature contrast related to the changing character of the sea ice cover — are becoming increasingly consequential to Arctic climate variability and change.

Intervals of sustained low extent of sea ice cover occurred before AD 1200, and may be coincident with the so - called Medieval Warm Optimum (roughly AD 800 — 1300) attested in numerous Northern Hemisphere proxy records18, but the pre-industrial minimum occurred before, at about AD 640 (T3 in Fig. 3).

The former is defined as the areal sum of sea ice covering the ocean (sea ice + open ocean), whereas the latter «area» definition counts only sea ice covering a fraction of the ocean (sea ice only).
