The Arctic sea ice melt season has lengthened by about 40 days since satellite measurements began in 1979, but a new NASA-led study shows that this increase unexpectedly stopped around 2010, and the length of the melt season has remained roughly the same since then, NASA reported.
NASA detects that the arctic thaw season ceased to elongate by 2010: 44 years of satellites point to a regime change in sea ice. The entry NASA detects that the arctic thaw stabilized since 2010 and forces to review the climate models first appears on Merca2.
The melting of the Arctic does not progress at exactly the same pace every year. It can accelerate for a decade, stabilize for several years and even show periods with less melting. But those variations do not mean that global warming is over. Research led by NASA scientists found a very clear example. Since satellite observations began in 1979, the season during which Arctic sea ice melts became approximately 40 days longer. However, since arou…
