Swell and Sea in the Emerging Arctic Ocean. Jim Thomson and W. Erick Rogers in Geophysical Research Letters , Vol. 41, No. 9, pages 3136–3140; May 16, 2014. Recent Arctic Amplification and ...

Huge areas of ice-free water are leading to massive waves in the Arctic Ocean, according to a study published in Geophysical Research Letters. As the Morning Mix reported earlier today, swells of ...

The first measurements of waves in the middle of the Arctic Ocean recorded house-sized waves during a September 2012 storm. More sensors are going out this summer to study waves in newly ice-free ...

The Beaufort Sea, part of the Arctic Ocean, was long covered in a perpetual layer of ice; not so anymore. Now, the area has seen waves 16 feet high thanks to warmer temperatures, scientists say in ...

Because wave action breaks up sea ice, allowing more sunlight to warm the ocean, it can trigger a cycle that leads to even less ice, more wind, and higher waves. (See "Shrinking Arctic Ice Prompts ...

Scientific studies reveal the interconnectedness of different regions of the planet. Scientists issue alarming prediction ...

Several climate models suggest that the Arctic Ocean will be seasonally ice free by the middle of this century. The breakup of the sea ice from the waves, Serreze said, "should accelerate the ...

For the first time, researchers were able to measure waves in the Arctic's Beaufort Sea due to melting ice caused by global warming. "Waves could accelerate the ice retreat," Jim Thomson of the ...

Between 2007 and 2021, the marginal zones of the Arctic Ocean experienced 11 marine heat waves, producing an average temperature rise of 2.2 degrees Celsius above seasonal norm and lasting an ...

As sea ice retreats in the Arctic, it's leaving more open ocean. ... waves, ocean structure, aerosols, clouds),” all of which interact with each other. The new study neatly shows that.

The Arctic Ocean could see "ice-free" days within a matter of years—potentially a decade earlier than was previously predicted. This is the warning of a team of researchers from the University ...
