Rising global temperatures are reducing Arctic Ocean sea ice, and new research has explored the connection between that melting ice and changing water circulation patterns that can impact weather ...

Arctic sea ice levels are crucial to Earth's climate because, without the ice reflecting sunlight, more heat energy goes into the oceans.

A research team led by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) scholars has discovered a significant slowdown in Arctic sea ice melting since 2012, with a decrease rate of 11.3% per ...

Tiny particles bubbling up from melting Arctic sea ice play a key role in cloud formation, suggests new research. The discovery may explain why Arctic clouds behave differently — and lead to improved ...

Arctic sea ice is melting at an alarming rate this summer because of record high temperatures. The heat had an especially devastating impact in Greenland. According to NASA scientists, the ice sheet ...

June-July(JJ) Arctic sea ice extent related to the second half of South Asian summer monsoon rainfall (i.e., August-September :AS). (a) Detrended and normalized (by its standard deviation) Arctic sea ...

Tiny particles bubbling up from the tops of melting sea ice into the Arctic sky may be a key, understudied element of cloud formation in that climate-sensitive region. Ice-nucleating particles can ...
