Arctic melt ponds and bifurcations in the climate system
Abstract Understanding how sea ice melts is critical to climate projections. In the Arctic, melt ponds that develop on the surface of sea ice floes during the late spring and summer largely determine their albedo -a key parameter in climate modeling. Here we explore the possibility of a conceptual s...
