Journal ArticleDOI
Sunlight, water, and ice: Extreme Arctic sea ice melt during the summer of 2007
TL;DR: In this article, an increase in the open water fraction resulted in a 500% positive anomaly in solar heat input to the upper ocean, triggering an ice-albedo feedback and contributing to the accelerating ice retreat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thin and thinner: Sea ice mass balance measurements during SHEBA
Donald K. Perovich,Thomas C. Grenfell,Jacqueline A. Richter-Menge,Bonnie Light,Walter B. Tucker,Hajo Eicken +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors installed more than 135 ice thickness gauges to determine the sea ice mass balance and found that much of the multi-year ice cover was only 1 m thick, considerably thinner than expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of Sea Ice in the Arctic
TL;DR: The observed reduction in Arctic sea ice is a consequence of both thermodynamic and dynamic processes, including such factors as preconditioning of the ice cover, overall warming trends, changes in cloud coverage, shifts in atmospheric circulation patterns, and the ice-albedo feedback.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydraulic controls of summer Arctic pack ice albedo
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the depth of the snow cover, by controlling the amount of superimposed ice formation in early summer, critically affects the retention of meltwater at the ice surface and hence affects pond coverage.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project as mentioned in this paper was not motivated by climate change, and it was not designed to detect global warming, nor was it designed to diagnose global warming.
