Wind amplifies the polar sea ice retreat

Wind amplifies the polar sea ice retreat

The rapid polar sea ice retreat and its drivers are challenging and still unresolved questions in climate change research. In particular, the relationship between near-surface wind speed and sea ice extent remains unclear for two main reasons: (1) observed wind speeds over Polar Regions are very spa...
