Heavy footprints of upper-ocean eddies on weakened Arctic sea ice in marginal ice zones
Arctic sea ice extent continues to decline at an unprecedented rate that climate projection models commonly underestimate. In this study, authors reveal a positive feedback between ocean-ice heat fluxes, sea ice cover, and upper-ocean vortices that is missing in coarse-resolution climate models.
