Arctic Sea Ice Reduction and Tropospheric Chemical Processes

Abstract—Arctic sea ice extent reached another historical record low in summer 2012. More importantly, perennial sea ice extent in 2012 set the new record low in the long period that extends back to the last half of the 20th century as observed by a combination of long-term measurements acquired by...

Description
Summary:Abstract—Arctic sea ice extent reached another historical record low in summer 2012. More importantly, perennial sea ice extent in 2012 set the new record low in the long period that extends back to the last half of the 20th century as observed by a combination of long-term measurements acquired by ocean buoys and decadal data acquired by satellite scatterometers. To investigate impacts of sea ice reduction on atmospheric
