A new study published in Communications Earth & Environment gives possible insight into the underprediction of sea ice depletion and the formation of Arctic cyclones. Led by Steven Cavallo ...

At the other end of the planet, the Arctic should be reaching its annual maximum, with cold winter temperatures helping the oceans to freeze over. But current sea-ice extent is nearly 0.2 million ...

The office of the Weather Service in Bismarck, N.D., described the conditions as “life threatening,” cautioning that wind ...

Since 1979, Arctic sea ice extent, a term that describes the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by ice, has been reduced by 40% in the late summer months. Global climate models have consistently ...

Sea ice waxes and wanes throughout the year, but in Antarctic it reaches a minimum extent in February and a maximum in September after a long, cold winter. In the Arctic, meanwhile, the total ...

Arctic Cyclones Could Be Missing Link in Sea Ice Depletion Models Feb. 12, 2025 — A study gives possible insight into the underprediction of sea ice depletion and the formation of Arctic cyclones.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The polar vortex hit its peak across much of America on Wednesday, with an icy grip that made Arctic ...

The world's frozen oceans, which help to keep the planet cool, currently have less ice than ever previously recorded, satellite data shows. Sea-ice around the north and south poles acts like a ...

But new research from the University of Chicago suggests it can be useful for more than just earthquakes—it can also monitor sea ice cover in the Arctic. Sea ice is one of the most important factors ...

The geographical proximity of the US and Russia to the Arctic Ocean will generate a constant political tremor in the ...
