Whereas most proxy - based reconstructions point to an early - middle LIG climatic optimum with reduced summer sea ice concentrations between 126 and 116 ka, the results of our model simulations only support a pronounced reduction in summer sea ice concentration for the LIG - 125 and LIG - 130 runs (in both time slice as well as transient runs; Figs. 8 and 9), but also indicate that sea ice was still present in the central Arctic Ocean even under climatic conditions significantly warmer than today (Fig. 4).

These new sea ice proxy records are needed (1) to fully prove the scenarios of a succession from an extended ice shelf to polynya / open - water conditions (cf., Fig. 6), (2) to reconstruct in more detail the changes in sea ice cover for early, middle and late LIG intervals characterized by very different external forcings and related internal feedback mechanisms, and (3) to allow a more fundamental proxy data / modeling comparison that results in model improvements and better reproduction of the LIG climatic evolution and prediction of future climatic scenarios20, 21,22,23, 64.

Quite stable ice - edge conditions resulted in increased fluxes of IP25, open - water phytoplankton and terrigenous biomarkers (cf., Supplementary Fig. 1).

As IP25 is only produced within the sea ice matrix, ice - free conditions also result in zero IP25 concentrations.

The Kau Bay results suggest that there was diminished ENSO amplitude or frequency, or a departure from El Niño — like conditions during the Medieval Warm Period, and distinctive, but steadily decreasing, El Niño activity during and after the Little Ice Age.»

Such an extended ice sheet associated with strong katabatic winds should have caused polynya - like open - water conditions in front of the ice sheet (Fig. 5a), resulting in increased fluxes of phytoplankton, ice algae and terrigenous matter as observed in the PS2757 - 8 record (Fig. 2c and Fig. 6, Scenario 2), i.e., a situation similar to that proposed for the Barents Sea continental margin (Fig. 5a) 57, 58.

However, we caution that these results do not imply that the ice formation problem is solved because several unique conditions favored agreement between simulated and observed ice crystal number concentrations in this case: overlying ice nucleus concentrations much greater than in - cloud ice crystal concentrations, very slow - falling ice crystals, and the possible presence of an ice nucleus reservoir below a decoupled surface layer.

Albedo should increase in response to very low solar conditions which should result in an increase in major volcanic activity, increase in global cloud coverage and sea ice / snow coverage.

Just for one example, if it turns out that, between melt of sea ice and Greenland ice, the North Atlantic Current slows or stops, we would expect to see fairly dramatically colder weather in Europe for a while, even thought this condition could be directly linked to results produced by GW (though in the long term, the warming would, presumably eventually overtake the cooling from change in ocean currents).

Research from the past 10 years has shown that climate change leads to longer seasons without sea ice, Stirling's team wrote, «resulting in polar bears coming ashore to fast [go without food] for several months in progressively poorer condition.»

Results of a recent long - term and large - scale simulation of the collapse of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) show that the destabilization of the entire ice sheet would be irreversible if current conditions don't change by 20Ice Sheet (WAIS) show that the destabilization of the entire ice sheet would be irreversible if current conditions don't change by 20ice sheet would be irreversible if current conditions don't change by 2075.

Thus, while there has been persistence of low summer ice conditions the last few years, model results suggest we can not rule out short periods of increased sea ice cover, but that this in no way contradicts the long - term sea ice loss.
