It has long be debated, estimated, projected when the Arctic Ocean becomes essentially ice free, in terms of the so called Blue Ocean definition – typically defined as less than 1 million square kilometers of ice, or less than 10% of the basin. YALE: Relentless high pressure and cloud-free skies have allowed the Arctic Ocean’s sea…
The amount of ice circling Antarctica is suddenly plunging from a record high to record lows, baffling scientists. A new NASA study by sea ice expert Claire L. Parkinson reveals recent trends in Antarctica’s sea ice extent. CREDITS A 40-y record reveals gradual Antarctic sea ice increases followed by decreases at rates far exceeding the…

This heatwave across much of the northern hemisphere could continue for weeks, and possibly even months. And accelerated warming in the Arctic compared to the rest of the planet could be a key contributor. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2174889-warming-arctic-could-be-behind-heatwave-sweeping-northern-hemisphere/ Jennifer Francis (Rutgers University), speaks March 2018 about weather changes. And how are those related to climate change? Full talk…
Arctic sea ice decline has long been projected to occur. 2018 and 2017 are the two lowest winter time Arctic sea ice records observed. Disappearing sea ice and moisture transport into the Arctic are believed to cause something called Arctic amplification, which in turn has been linked to two effects (weaker westerly winds, and intensified…
“Rapid Arctic Climate Change: What’s cloud got to do with it?” presented by Patrick Taylor. Originally presented at the Fall AGU 2017 conference on Monday, December 12, 2017 at 10:00 a.m.
Penguins investigate a camera, take selfie, left behind by a researcher of the Australian Antarctic Division. Another penguin jumps into the boat of the researchers.
Jennifer Francis, Ph.D., Research Professor I, Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University, speaks about extreme weather changes. And how are those related to climate change? In this presentation, Dr. Francis will explain new research that links increasing extreme weather events with the rapidly warming and melting Arctic during recent decades. Evidence suggests that…
