Sentences with phrase «sea ice thickness compares»

In an earlier study (Labe et al., 2018a), we show that the CESM - LENS sea ice thickness compares well with satellite observations and output from an ice - ocean model.

If we compare the ice thickness map of the previous winter with that of 2012, we can see that the current ice conditions are similar to those of the spring of 2012 — in some places, the ice is even thinner,» Dr Marcel Nicolaus, sea ice physicist at AWI, said today at a press conference during the EGU General Assembly in Vienna.

«The skill of the model is examined by comparing its output to sea ice thickness data gathered during the last two decades.

Decadal hindcast simulations of Arctic Ocean sea ice thickness made by a modern dynamic - thermodynamic sea ice model and forced independently by both the ERA - 40 and NCEP / NCAR reanalysis data sets are compared for the first time.

The goal, the scientists say, is to compare independent methods of gauging ice trends from factors including sea temperature, ice thickness and cycles of atmospheric pressure and winds around the Arctic.

A comparison of the modeled ice thickness on 1 June 2007, 2008, and 2009, and the initial ice thickness on 28 May 2010 reveals considerably larger ice thickness mainly in the East Siberian Sea, north of the East Siberian Sea, and in the vicinity of the North Pole in 2010 compared to 2007 — 2009.

The pan-arctic ensemble runs with a coupled ice - ocean model by Kauker et al. also indicate a distinct ice thickness anomaly in the East Siberian Sea, where thicknesses at the end of June 2010 are shown to be higher by a factor of roughly two as compared to the previous three years.

Instead, we are interested in isolating the role of sea ice thickness on the atmosphere and quantifying its contribution compared to sea ice concentration.

Overall, we conduct five different experiments using WACCM4 to compare the atmosphere responses to loss of sea ice concentration (SIC), loss of sea ice thickness (SIT), and their combined effect (NET).

While the ice thickness is generally thinner in May 2016 compared to previous years, the air temperature has been several degrees above the last 10 year mean in the northern North Atlantic and the Beaufort Sea, but colder in the Eastern Siberian Sea and Laptev Sea causing the described melt pond pattern.

At Twitter Kirye posted an excellent GIF animation to compare Arctic sea ice thickness over the past 10 years:

The research, reported in Geophysical Research Letters, showed that last winter the average thickness of sea ice over the whole Arctic fell by 26 cm (10 %) compared with the average thickness of the previous five winters, but sea ice in the western Arctic lost around 49 cm of thickness.
