Seasonal energy exchange in sea ice retreat regions contributes to differences in projected Arctic warming

State-of-the-art climate models disagree on the magnitude of Arctic climate change. Here the authors show that the principle processes driving the disagreement operate locally in sea ice retreat regions, necessitating comprehensive observations to improve our understanding of atmosphere-ocean-sea ic...
