Arctic sea ice decline and ice export

A new study uses the CMIP5 historical simulations to find out more about Arctic sea ice decline and ice export.

The Arctic sea ice is shrinking, both in extent and thickness. In addition to the manmade contribution to the sea ice loss, there are also natural factors contributing to this loss. A new study uses historical simulations to find out more about Arctic sea ice decline and ice export through the large gateway between Greenland and Svalbard – the Fram Strait.
