Radiative Impacts of Future Arctic Sea Ice Melt

The dramatic retreat in Arctic sea ice in recent decades has reduced the top-of-atmosphere albedo over this region and added more solar energy to the climate system. Here we use two satellite datasets--17 years of CERES top-of-atmosphere albedo and 38 years of microwave sea ice concentration measure...
