CSB: Tipping Point for the Arctic Perennial Ice Cover 1978-2007
Entry ID: CSB_ArcticIceCover78-07
Summary
Abstract:
Perennial ice cover (or ice at the end of the summer) is currently declining at the rate of 11.4% per decade as observed from satellite data from 1978 to 2007. Acceleration in the decline makes it difficult for ice to recover because of ice-albedo feedback effects which has caused increases in solar heating of the mixed layer on account of the observed increase in open water area of 23% per decade ...
