Vertical distriBution of bacteria and their relation to algal biomass in the high arctic sea ice from the Barents Sea and Laptev Sea
Similar analyses have been done for today's extreme rainfall patterns (drought followed by deluge, not precipitation spread out evenly) and the retreat of arctic sea ice.
In addition to the thermal reasons, the advection of arctic sea ice (Pacific section), which is the result of dynamic factors, is closely related to the frequency shift that occurred in Chukchi Sea.
Characteristics of Antarctic sea ice extent and its relation to SSTin the tropical Pacific
But Notz is less optimistic about Antarctic sea ice, its undersides heated by eddying Southern Ocean currents.
Antarctic sea ice, for instance, does not seem to be shrinking, probably because increased melting is balanced by more snow.
