“It is very likely that in the future, the Arctic Ocean is going to be another Atlantic or Pacific. There’s debate, but some Earth system models predict that over the next several decades, there will ...

Due to warmer temperatures in the Arctic, the Beaufort Gyre is currently losing large amounts of sea ice. The ice helps keep the ocean cool, acting as a lid. Thinner sea ice allows more heat from ...

The Arctic Ocean likely had the smallest winter ice cover in 47 years of satellite records this season, with just 5.53 million square miles of sea ice covering the region at its peak on March 22 ...

auch Monatsmittel im März mit Negativrekord The winter growth period for sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is now over, with levels at a record low. The winter ice extent on 21 March 2025 was lower than at ...

When ice melts, the darker ocean water absorbs more heat, accelerating warming in the Arctic and beyond. It’s like replacing a mirror with a blackboard; the latter absorbs much more light and heat.

“Over the last century we have seen a reduction of the overall amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean, reducing in area and thickness,” Stroeve continues. “Today’s end-of-summer ice cover is 40 ...

The average sea ice extent for October was 5.94m km2 – the fourth lowest on record, according to the NSIDC. Throughout November, air temperatures over the Arctic Ocean were “mixed”, according to the ...

The winter growth period for sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is now over, with levels at a record low. The winter ice extent on 21 March 2025 was lower than at any time since continuous satellite ...

New research suggests continued global warming could put a major Arctic ocean current in serious trouble ... As Arctic sea ice continues to thin, the high-pressure system’s influence weakens ...

NASA's most ambitious Arctic voyage to date has revealed surprisingly high concentrations of ice particles in clouds over Greenland, a clue that may help explain why Arctic ice is melting even ...

“But even more importantly than the record low is that this year adds yet another data point to the continuing long-term loss of Arctic sea ice in all seasons.” Sea ice is frozen ocean water ...
