Regional changes in Arctic and Antarctic sea ice
Sea ice in the Arctic continued a decades-long downward trend in its minimum summer extent, while sea ice around Antarctica saw meager ...
Regional changes in Arctic and Antarctic sea ice - GRID-Arendal
There are major regional differences for the Arctic sea ice, with the strongest decline in ice extent observed for the Greenland Sea (10.6 per cent per ...
Arctic Sea Ice Near Historic Low; Antarctic Ice Continues Decline
Sea ice in the southern polar regions of the planet was also low in 2024. Around Antarctica, scientists are tracking near record-low sea ice at ...
Differences between Arctic and Antarctic sea ice
The impact of climate change on the Arctic is more linear than the Antarctic. In the Arctic, there is a clear relationship between the ...
New Perspectives on the Enigma of Expanding Antarctic Sea Ice - Eos
Much of the observed loss of Arctic sea ice, which is in general agreement with expectations from climate models, has been attributed to ...
Understanding climate: Antarctic sea ice extent
Compared to the Arctic, Antarctic sea ice shows lower variability in summer, and higher variability in winter. These changes largely result from ...
Sea Ice | National Snow and Ice Data Center
The pattern of Antarctic maximum sea ice is roughly symmetric around the pole, forming a circle around Antarctica. In contrast, the Arctic is asymmetric, with ...
Changes in atmospheric dynamics and winds are an important driver of regional sea-ice trends. Ozone and greenhouse forcings cool the Antarctic stratosphere, ...
Did you know the differences between Arctic and Antarctic sea ice?
As the Arctic Ocean is confined by the land around, sea ice tends to stay there longer and has less chance to escape compared to the Antarctic, ...
Climate Change Indicators: Antarctic Sea Ice | US EPA
The ice melts in the summer months (December to February) because of warmer temperatures and long hours of sunlight. Unlike the Arctic, where a large area of ...
Sea Ice Today | National Snow and Ice Data Center
In the Arctic, the annual minimum sea ice extent occurs in September and the annual sea ice maximum extent occurs in March. In the Antarctic, the minimum extent ...
FAQ: Climate Change in the Polar Regions
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are both losing net mass to the ocean, mostly through increased melting from the atmosphere and the ocean. Scientists are ...
Arctic sea ice hits summer minimum; Antarctic hovers at new winter ...
Some scientists see this as anomalous. Others see it as a shift in the southern polar environment, maybe triggered by climate change.
Regional fact sheet - Polar Regions - IPCC
Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheet cumulative mass changes in gigatonnes (recently observed and projected by ... Current Arctic sea ice cover. (both annual ...
The seasonal change in sea ice extent is also larger than in the Arctic. In the Antarctic, the average extent at the annual sea ice minimum is ...
Sea ice reflectivity helps regulate the amount of sunlight that enters the Arctic region—and in turn, the area's temperatures. As more sea ice disappears, the ...
State of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice in 2021 | EUMETSAT - User Portal
The effects of climate change are not the same in the Arctic and Antarctic. While almost 75% of the Arctic sea ice has disappeared, the state of sea ice in ...
Climate Change: Arctic sea ice summer minimum
Since satellite-based measurements began in the late 1970s, Arctic sea ice extent has decreased in all months and virtually all regions.
Regional impacts of climate change in the Arctic and Antarctic
While there is still uncertainty about the mass balance of Antarctica and Grreenland, the extent and thickness of the seasonal snow cover, sea ice, permafrost, ...
How do changes in the Polar Regions affect other parts of the world?
At present, the Greenland Ice Sheet and polar glaciers are contributing more to sea level rise than the Antarctic Ice Sheet. However, ice loss from the ...
