The Arctic and Antarctic Sea-Ice Area Index Records versus Measured and Modeled Temperature Data by Nicola Scafetta, Adriano Mazzarella

“…During the last 7 years the Arctic sea-ice area has stabilized while the Antarctic sea-ice area has increased at a rate significantly higher than during the previous decades; that is, the sea-ice area of both regions has experienced a positive acceleration. …”

Effect of delayed sea ice retreat on zooplankton communities in the Pacific Arctic Ocean: a generalized dissimilarity modeling approach by Yuya Hibino, Kohei Matsuno, Kohei Matsuno, Amane Fujiwara, Yoshiyuki Abe, Nanami Hosoda, Motoyo Itoh, Atsushi Yamaguchi, Atsushi Yamaguchi

“…IntroductionSea ice extent increased in the Pacific Arctic Ocean during 2021 owing to the reversal of the Beaufort Gyre, unlike in previous years. The increased sea ice concentration may restore the marine ecosystem to its previous state; nevertheless, the precise conditions and mechanisms involved remain unclear.MethodsIn this study, the 2008–2017 period was defined as “the sea ice retreat year,” and its zooplankton community distribution representative was estimated using generalized dissimilarity modeling (GDM). …”
