Sentences with phrase «winter ice growth»

Comparison of sea ice age during the second full week of September reveals that the Arctic will enter the winter ice growth season with less multiyear ice (bright colors), but far more first - year ice (dark blue) this year than it did in 2007.

This is what may have contributed in part to lingering ice in this region as a result of thicker first - year ice (due to a more severe winter and higher winter ice growth) as well.

The growth of Antarctic sea ice in the winter exhibits more short - term ups and downs (seen as wiggles on the graphs charting the growth) than Arctic sea ice does, and so the Antarctic maximum takes longer to emerge from the noise.

The algae growth slows each winter when sea ice blocks sunlight, leaving behind layers similar to tree rings.

This residual is a logical consequence of there still being sea ice growth in the winter, and a significant area of ice at the end of the summer.

As I understand it, even a small amount (a few Watt / m ^ 2) of sustained heat - flux very significantly impacts growth of multi-year ice in winter, and possibly make a difference between 6 - 7 meter MYI and just 1 - 2 meter ice.

Summer ice melt in the Arctic in 2008 was hyped, but the winter growth seems to be more rapid than usual.

What I can share from our findings is that the freshwater balance, and therefore the halocline, is largely responsible for the winter time trends of sea ice growth.

Water that reaches the Nordic (Greenland, Iceland, Norwegian) and Labrador seas is additionally densened in winter by salt from sea - ice growth (ice has no salt), and by more cooling.

Given the really remarkable drop in sea ice growth this winter, I find this claim pretty hard to understand.

That balmy weather stymied sea ice growth and caused sea ice extent to hit a record low winter peak for the second year in a row.

For the decade of 2007 - 2017 (left), the research team predicts that there may be some growth of winter sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, particularly on the Atlantic side, where scientists have the most confidence in the model's ability.

The surprising record growth of ice last winter was not repeated, obviously, largely because of the jet stream over the Pacific Arctic.

Measurements provide evidence for the entrainment of NSTM - layer heat in fall / winter 2007 — 08 by shear - driven mixing, and convective mixing by the release of dense, salty plumes during sea - ice growth.

September ice is the ice that has survived the melt season and will provide the base for ice growth over the winter.

«High tilt = Cooler polar summers coupled with warmer polar winters = ice growth (assuming there are continents around to support glaciers).

The main cause is simply global warming: as the climate has warmed there has been less ice growth during the winter and more ice melt during the summer.

The main cause is simply global warming: as the climate has warmed there has been less ice growth during the winter and more ice melt during the summer... in the end the summer melt overtook the winter growth such that the entire ice sheet melts or breaks up during the summer months.

But in the end the summer melt overtook the winter growth such that the entire ice sheet melts or breaks up during the summer months.

A rise in Arctic storms has more than doubled the number of winter warming events, which could greatly impede ice growth.

According to Graham, winter storms coupled with rising temperatures could hinder Arctic ice growth and break up ice that is already covering the Arctic Ocean, which would have a devastating impact on the region.

Reductions in winter sea - ice will affect the reproduction, growth and development of fish, krill, and their predators, including seals and seal - dependent polar bears (e.g., Barber and Iacozza, 2004; Box 4.3), leading to further changes in abundance and distribution of marine species (Chapter 15, Section 15.4.3).

This insulated the ice from the atmosphere, slowing its growth in winter and surface melt in summer.
