Sentences with phrase «trend of the sea ice area»

Note that we computed sea ice — temperature regression coefficients with detrended data and then multiplied these by the trend of the sea ice area to obtain the congruent temperature change.

2012's sea ice area and extent were already trending low this year, but damage done to the thin and low concentration of ice by this storm almost ensures that 2012 will eclipse 2007 in all categories as the lowest sea ice on record by the time the September low is set.

The most definitive 30 - year P trends occur along the northern Russian border and adjacent to Hudson's Bay (> 75 % change of a wetter future), likely in response to diminished sea ice cover and resulting increase in atmospheric moisture, and in some areas of northern Africa and the Middle East (< 35 % chance of wetting, equivalent to > 65 % chance of drying; Fig. 8b).

The area of Arctic sea ice was nearly 30 % greater in August than a year ago, according to recent satellite data, though projections based on longer - term trends suggest the sea ice will continue its decline over time.

Another indicator of intensifying global warming: The area of Arctic Ocean covered by sea ice, a major influencer of weather for the Northern Hemisphere, continued its multi-year shrinking trend.

The sea ice recovery is just some natural variation on the overall trend of decreasing sea ice volume, extent and area.

For example, West Antarctic temperature anomalies, excluding the Peninsula, are correlated with sea ice area of the ABS at − 0.73, and the trend in sea ice area is linearly congruent with at least half of the warming of the WAIS and Antarctic Peninsula.

Also, a recent analysis of Antarctic sea ice trends for 1978 — 1996 by Watkins and Simmonds [2000] found significant increases in both Antarctic sea ice extent and ice area, similar to the results in this paper.
