Visualize sea ice extent (area of ocean with at least 15 percent sea ice concentration) data for the Arctic and Antarctic. View and compare sea ice extent data for any year or any combination of years from 1979 to present (including near-real-time daily data).
12 Φεβ 2024 · The below graph shows a time-series plot of the latest sea ice volume from the CryoSat-2 Level-4 Sea Ice Elevation, Freeboard, and Thickness data set. This graph is updated from October through March/mid-April.
•Explain that melting land ice adds to rising seas, while melting sea ice does not. •Explain that warm water molecules expand, taking up more space. •Discuss the impacts of sea level rise on the effects of storm surge.
Ice, which covers 10 percent of Earth's surface, is disappearing rapidly. Select a topic below to see how climate change has affected glaciers, sea ice, and continental ice sheets worldwide.
How does melting sea ice affect sea levels? Experiment 1: See ice melting! For this experiment, we’re setting up an ocean environment, and using ice cubes to represent the Arctic sea ice. What you’ll need: • A clear glass or plastic container, like a baking dish or beaker • A jug of water (room temperature) • A tray of ice cubes
26 Αυγ 2015 · What scientists do know is that warming Arctic temperatures – and a darkening surface of the Greenland ice sheet – are causing so much summer melting that it is now the dominant factor in Greenland’s contribution to sea level rise.
5 ημέρες πριν · Color-coded map of the daily sea ice concentration in the Northern Hemisphere for the indicated recent date along with the contours of the 15% edge during the years with the least extent of ice (in red) and the greatest extent of ice (in orange) during the period from November 1978 to the present.
