TL;DR: The effects of natural hydrocarbons must be considered in order to develop a reliable plan for reducing ozone in the urban atmosphere and previous investigators may have overestimated the effectiveness of an ozone abatement strategy based on reducing anthropogenic hydrocarbon.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared seven reanalysis datasets for the Arctic region over the 30-yr period 1981-2010: National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), National Center for Atmospheric Research Reanalysis 1, NCEP-R1, U.S. Department of Energy Reanalysis 2, CFSR, Twentieth-Century Reanalysis (20CR), Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA), ECMWF Interim Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim), and Japanese 25-year Reanalysis Project

TL;DR: A range of observations and approaches, including in situ ice thickness measurements, ICESat retrieved ice thickness, and model sensitivity studies, yields a conservative estimate for October Arctic ice volume uncertainty of 1.35 × 103 km3.

TL;DR: In this article, a regional coupled ice-ocean model has been analyzed to determine the physical processes contributing to changes in the Arctic pack ice, and it is hypothesized that the thinning since 1988 is due to preconditioning, a trigger, and positive feedbacks: 1) the fall, winter, and spring air temperatures over the Arctic Ocean have gradually increased over the last 50 yr, leading to reduced thickness of first-year ice at the start of summer; 2) a temporary shift, starting in 1989, of two principal climate indexes (the Arctic Oscillation

TL;DR: The role of Pacific Waters in the 2007 Arctic sea-ice retreat was illuminated by as mentioned in this paper, who used observational data to estimate Bering Strait volume and heat transports from 1991 to 2007.
