Rapid loss of Arctic sea ice [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Several environmental tipping points and self-reinforcing feedback loops are still disregarded within the frequently used climate models. Thus, existing climate models are not very representative for providing projections of the conditions after the actual environmental tipping points are triggered.

Bayesian Inference of Spatio-Temporal Changes of Arctic Sea Ice [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Arctic sea ice extent has drawn increasing interest and alarm from geoscientists, owing to its rapid decline. In this article, we propose a Bayesian spatio-temporal hierarchical statistical model for binary Arctic sea ice data over two decades, where a latent dynamic spatio-temporal Gaussian process is used to model the data-dependence through a logit ...

Optimal Combination of Arctic Sea Ice Extent Measures: A Dynamic Factor Modeling Approach [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The diminishing extent of Arctic sea ice is a key indicator of climate change as well as an accelerant for future global warming. Since 1978, Arctic sea ice has been measured using satellite-based microwave sensing; however, different measures of Arctic sea ice extent have been made available based on differing algorithmic transformations of the raw ...
