Unprecedented decline of Arctic sea ice outflow in 2018

H. Sumata, L. D. Steur, et al.

Discover the startling decline in Arctic sea ice export found by researchers Hiroshi Sumata, Laura de Steur, Sebastian Gerland, Dmitry V. Divine, and Olga Pavlova. Their study reveals that in 2018, the sea ice export through Fram Strait fell to less than 40% of the 2000-2017 average, driven by unusual atmospheric conditions. These findings underscore the significant impact of regional atmospheric anomalies on Arctic sea ice dynamics.
