Impact of melt ponds on Arctic sea ice in past and future climates as simulated by MPI-ESM
The impact of melt ponds on Arctic sea ice is estimated from model simulations of the historical and future climate. The simulations were performed with and without the effect of melt ponds on sea ice melt, respectively. In the last thirty years of the historical simulations, melt ponds develop pred...
