Increased variability of the Arctic summer ice extent in a warmer climate, Geophys
[1] Simulations performed with general circulation models and a model of intermediate complexity show that the variability of the September sea ice extent in the Arctic of the 21st century increases first when the mean extent decreases from present-day values. A maximum of the variance is found when...
