Global warming


Arctic Sea Ice

Sea ice area has actually declined over the last few days. This behavior has been seen in some previous years also. Causes include large export of ice through Fram Strait, winds causing ice divergence leading to lower area and larger extent, or winds compacting ice, causing rafting and ridging so decreasing the area and increasing thickness. It would be nice to determine which scenario is the case...
