Arctic cyclones may be accelerating sea ice loss by breaking ice into smaller pieces and driving upwelling of warm water. A study links these storms to rapid ice depletion and suggests that tropopause ...

Arctic sea-ice is currently at its smallest recorded extent for the time of year, while Antarctic sea-ice is close to a new ...

A new study published in Communications Earth & Environment gives possible insight into the underprediction of sea ice ...

The sea ice decline since 1979 is the sum of numerous VRILEs that individually occur in periods of 5 to 18 days. Cavallo's publication suggests that Arctic cyclones are at least partially to blame.
