Why Is the Sea Ice Melting so Fast? Improving Understanding of Melt Processes on First-Year Arctic Sea Ice

The area of summer sea ice in the Arctic has been decreasing since satellite observations started in 1979, and the area of ice lost in summer during the last five years is far beyond what was predicted by climate models. Furthermore there has been a shift from thicker multi-year ice to thinner f...
