why arctic sea ice melting matters
Bookmarked 761 weeks ago
the arctic sea ice is a key indicator of the state of our climate http:wwwgreenpeaceorgarcticthe shrinking and receding sea ice has dire consequences first as the white ice that normally reflects sunlight away from earth melts more of the dark open water of the arctic ocean is is exposed absorbing heat and causing more ice to melt this is a positive feedback loop where ice melt causes more ice to melt second distinctive arctic species such as the polar bear walrus and ice seals depend on the sea ice they cannot survive without it so as the sea ice shrinks and thins these animals039 continued existence is jeopardized as are the arctic peoples whose cultures and ways of life have depended on the animals and the ice for millenia

arctic sea ice 2011 preliminary minimum
Bookmarked 760 weeks ago
watch as sea ice in the arctic ocean declines from its near-maximum state in early spring 2011 through the summer and up until sept 9 2011 in this visualization of data collected by the amsr-e instrument on nasa039s aqua satellite sea ice goes through this shrink-and-swell rhythm every year but since consistent satellite observations began in 1979 both the annual minimum at the end of summer and the annual maximum at the end of winter continue to decline in area and thickness consistent with rising temperatures globally and specifically in the arctic climate scientists are concerned with this trend both as an indicator of climate change and as a feedback mechanism as the white highly reflective ice disappears darker ocean waters appear this darker surface absorbs more solar radiation and acts as a positive feedback to the warming that is already occurring and causing the change in the first placevisualization courtesy of nasa039s scientific visualization studio goddard space flight centermore sea ice imagery available here:http:wwwflickrcomphotosgsfcsets72157627677377182
