Overall, we find the loss of
sea ice thickness contributes up to 1/3 of the response from loss of sea ice concentration in the lower to mid-atmosphere.
Loss of
sea ice thickness contributes to a negative Northern Annular Mode (NAM / NAO)- like response, which is found in the net sea ice loss experiment.
Not exact matches
As in 2012,
sea ice thinning and not just anomalous weather should
contribute to September 2013
sea ice loss (see the discussion of the IceBridge
sea ice thickness data from the June Report).
Submissions of melt pond fraction,
ice thickness, and any other
sea ice parameter based on early - season data that could
contribute to a status summary of pre-season conditions and help inform subsequent contributions to the regular SIO monthly report.
Our future work will assess how
sea ice thickness loss
contributes to the large - scale atmospheric circulation (see more).
