Summary: | High latitudes present extreme conditions for the measurement and estimation of air–sea and ice fluxes, limiting understanding of related physical processes and feedbacks that are important elements of the Earth’s climate. High-latitude climate change can manifest itself in astonishing ways. Arctic sea ice extent at the end of the melt season in September is declining at a mean rate of 12 % per decade, with record seasonal minima in 2007 and 2012 (Comiso et al. |
