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
With this tool, you can: 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).
This spreadsheet organizes monthly average sea ice extent and area data, in millions of square kilometers from 1979 to pres ent. Data are parsed by hemisphere and month and also include s includes
Students will investigate whether melting land ice or sea ice will have a greater impact on sea level rise. For detailed instructions, see GPM Climate Change – Melting Ice and Sea Level Rise Lab.
In this activity, you will graph the extent of the sea ice over time. Start by looking at the sea ice around the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean. Your teacher will give you a piece of graph paper. In a few minutes, you will graph data about the changes in the extent of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.
