Arctic Ice Darkening Faster Previously Thought
2014-02-19 19:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean reflects sunlight, and therefore has a cooling effect on the Earth. However, the recent retreat of sea ice has been underestimated, according to a new study, and the Earth's albedo, or reflectivity, is decreasing at a faster rate than previously thought. The study was conducted by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, using data from the Cloud's and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) aboard several NASA satellites....

Loss of Arctic Sea Ice Has Greater Warming Impact Than Expected
2014-02-19 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Env 360: The steady disappearance of Arctic sea ice, which is causing the exposed and darker surface of the Arctic Ocean to absorb more sunlight, is having a more profound impact on global warming than previously estimated, according to a new study. The decline of albedo, or reflectivity, from the Arctic Ocean equals roughly 25 percent of the warming caused by rising carbon dioxide levels, according to scientists at the University of California, San Diego. The impact of this "albedo feedback," in which the...
Warming from Arctic Sea Ice Melting More Dramatic than Thought
2014-02-17 21:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Melting Arctic sea ice has contributed considerably more to warming at the top of the world than previously predicted by climate models, according to a new analysis of 30 years of satellite observations. Sea ice helps cool the Arctic by reflecting incoming solar radiation back into space. Because of its light color, sea ice has what is known as high albedo, which is the percentage of solar radiation a surface reflects back to space. Dark ocean water left behind by melting sea ice, on the other...

Arctic Sea Ice Melt Season Getting Longer
2014-02-15 15:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The summer melt season for Arctic sea ice has lengthened by a month or more since 1979, a new study finds. The primary culprit is a delayed fall freeze-up -- the autumn chill when sea water freezes into ice -- but the fallout remains the same: the Arctic ice cap is stuck in a vicious feedback loop betwixt its warming environment and melting ice, researchers reported Feb. 4 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The Arctic is one of the fastest warming places on Earth. Temperatures here...
