Arctic Sea Ice Extent Plummets in 2007 [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2008 Arctic sea ice declined rapidly to unprecedented low extents in the summer of 2007, raising concern that the Arctic may be on the verge of a fundamental transition toward a seasonal ice cover.Arctic sea ice extent typically attains a seasonal maximum in March and minimum in September.

Estimating summer sea ice extent in the Weddell Sea during the early 19th century [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 Over the past 3 decades, discordant trends in sea ice extent have been observed between the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Arctic sea ice extent has been characterised by a rapid decline, whereas Antarctic sea ice extent, while highly variable ...

Geographic muting of changes in the Arctic sea ice cover [PDF]
, 2010 The seasonal cycle in Arctic sea ice extent is asymmetric. Its amplitude has grown in recent decades as the ice has retreated more rapidly in summer than in winter.

Assessing trend and variation of Arctic sea-ice extent during 1979–2012 from a latitude perspective of ice edge [PDF]
Polar Research, 2014 Arctic sea-ice extent (in summer) has been shrinking since the 1970s. However, we have little knowledge of the detailed spatial variability of this shrinking.

Classifying the Ice Seasons 1982-2016 Using the Weighted Ice Days Number as a New Winter Severity Characteristic [PDF]
, 2017 Sea ice is a key climate factor and it restricts considerably the winter navigation in severe seasons on the Baltic Sea. So determining ice conditions severity and describing ice cover behavior at severe seasons are necessary.

Estimating the uncertainty of sea-ice area and sea-ice extent from satellite retrievals
The Cryosphere, 2022 Abstract. The net Arctic sea-ice area (SIA) can be estimated from the sea-ice concentration (SIC) by passive microwave measurements from satellites. To be a truly useful metric, for example of the sensitivity of the Arctic sea-ice cover to global warming, we need, however, reliable estimates of its uncertainty.

Impacts of Observed Extreme Antarctic Sea Ice Conditions on the Southern Hemisphere Atmosphere
Atmosphere, 2022 The Antarctic sea ice has undergone dramatic changes in recent years, with the highest recorded sea ice extent in 2014 and the lowest in 2017. We investigated the impacts of the observed changes in these two extremes of Antarctic sea ice conditions on ...

Variations in the age of Arctic sea‐ice and summer sea‐ice extent [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2004 Three of the past six summers have exhibited record low sea‐ice extent on the Arctic Ocean. These minima may have been dynamically induced by changes in the surface winds. Based on results of a simple model that keeps track of the age of ice as it moves about on the Arctic Ocean, we show that the areal coverage of thick multi‐year ice decreased ...

Influence of transport and ocean ice extent on biogenic aerosol sulfur in the Arctic atmosphere [PDF]
, 2012 The recent decline in sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean could affect the regional radiative forcing via changes in sea ice-atmosphere exchange of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and biogenic aerosols formed from its atmospheric oxidation, such as methanesulfonic ...
