1. This figure remains in line with the 35-year downward melting trend measured by NASA satellites.
2. The Arctic Ocean is losing about 13% each decade, with individual year variations.
3. NASA is currently flying a C-130 to extend the research on how the heat and moisture from ice-free open Arctic Ocean may affect extreme weather patterns over the U.S.
TAG: Details on the floating Antarctic winter sea ice are due soon.
