Arctic sea ice reaches lowest extent in 2008, second lowest ever recorded
September 17, 2008The Arctic sea ice cover appears to have reached its minimum extent for the year, the second-lowest extent recorded since satellite record-keeping began in 1979, according to the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center, or NSIDC.
While slightly above the record-low minimum set on Sept. 16, 2007, this season further reinforces the strong negative trend in summertime sea ice extent observed over the past 30 years, according to NSIDC researchers.
NSIDC will issue a press release at the beginning of October with full analysis of the possible causes behind this year's low ice conditions, particularly interesting aspects of the melt season, the conditions going into the winter growth season ahead, and graphics comparing this year to the long-term record.

Arctic Sea Ice Ecosystem by Alexander Melnikov (Author) This book is dedicated to the study of the composition, structure and dynamics of the Artic sea ice ecosystem. It considers the permanent Artic sea ice cover as an integral steady-state ecological system. Detailed descriptions are given of time-scale characteristics, physical and chemical ice properties, and the species composition of sea-ice-bio data. The ecological mechanisms which govern the ecosystem on both the vertical and lateral scales are discussed, including the function of microcommunities during sea ice evolution. The Arctic Ocean is a major component of the world's atmosphere ocean system and within this ocean, sea ice is the key dominant environmental feature. This 3 to 5-meter thick perenial sea ice cover affects the magnitude of both heat and matter fluxes from the... |
