NASA | Arctic Melt Season Lengthening, Ocean Rapidly Warming

A NASA and National Snow and Ice Data Center study reveals that Arctic sea ice is melting for an additional 5 days each decade since 1979, weakening the ice. This is due to increased solar energy absorption and rising sea surface temperatures. The growth season is delayed by 6 to 11 days per decade, and ice thickness is decreasing by 4 feet annually. Continued warming is expected to bring further changes.
