Description
Summary:a global warming context, Arctic sea ice…-extent is rapidly shrinking-concentration trends distribution is relatively homogeneous (see below).-is thinning almost everywhere-simulated by models follows the same negative trends-changes are significant Antarctic sea ice…-extent is slightly expanding-concentration trends distribution is heterogeneous (see below).-is not sufficiently sampled to derive robust trends of sea ice thickness-simulated by coupled climate models shows contradictory trends-changes are not systematically significant Observed trends of Arctic (left) and Antarctic (right) sea ice concentration, 1983-2007. Sea ice concentration data: OSISAF, 2010. 2. EnKF data assimilation xa = xf + K (d – H xf)
