Record low northern hemisphere sea ice extent in March 2015

The record low Northern Hemisphere (NH) winter sea ice maximum stemmed from a strong interannual surface anomaly in the Pacific sector, but it would not have been reached without long-term climate change. Fučkar and Massonnet are Juan de la Cierva fellows. Guemas, García-Serrano and Bellprat are Ram...

Description
Summary:The record low Northern Hemisphere (NH) winter sea ice maximum stemmed from a strong interannual surface anomaly in the Pacific sector, but it would not have been reached without long-term climate change.
