Regime shift in #ArcticOcean sea #ice #thickness. We demonstrate that a simple model describing the stochastic process of dynamic sea ice thickening explains the observed ice thickness changes as a result of the reduced residence time. Our study highlights the long-lasting impact of #ClimateChange on the #Arctic #SeaIce through reduced residence time and its connection to the coupled #ocean –sea ice processes in the adjacent marginal seas and shelves of the Arctic Ocean. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05686-x

The 2023 #Arctic #SeaIce maximum #extent may already have occurred.

However, what is certain is that the #UniversityOfWashington's
#Polar Science Center's #PIOMAS modelled sea ice #thickness data for February 2023 has been released:

It reveals some of the thickest sea ice remaining in the Arctic Ocean taking the #FramStrait exit from the Central Arctic.
