Time For The Annual Arctic Melt Vigil
The Arctic sea ice melt vigil has begun. Arctic melt is of great importance because it affects the climate of the planet in general and the weather of the northern latitudes in particular.
Of particular interest this season will be just what effect the ice
fracturing will have on the rate of melt and thus the overall extent. In
the last couple of weeks of February an arctic storm fractured some of
the arctic ice.
