State of the Cryosphere
Entry ID:
NSIDC-0090
Summary
Abstract:
The Cryospheric regions, or regions where water is found in solid
form, are among the most sensitive to temperature change. Average temperatures in snow and ice-covered areas typically remain below zero Celsius much of the year. Unlike other substances found on Earth, ice and snow exist relatively close to their melting point and frequently change phase from solid to ...
