Arctic Ice Melting Fast in Summer Sun New Arctic sea ice is now so perilously thin on average that it melts under the sunshine of clear summer skies it once could survive, American researchers conclude in a study published today. "When we had similar weather patterns in the past, they didn't appear to have as strong an effect on sea ice," said Jennifer Kay, an atmospheric scientist who led the U.S. research team. "Now because the ice is thinner you can have a chain reaction of runaway melting with a reduction in cloud cover," she said.

Arctic Ice Melting Fast in Summer Sun

New Arctic sea ice is now so perilously thin on average that it melts under the sunshine of clear summer skies it once could survive, American researchers conclude in a study published today.

"When we had similar weather patterns in the past, they didn't appear to have as strong an effect on sea ice," said Jennifer Kay, an atmospheric scientist who led the U.S. research team.

"Now because the ice is thinner you can have a chain reaction of runaway melting with a reduction in cloud cover," she said.
