1 Observing Arctic Sea Ice Change Christian Haas
2 Decreasing Arctic sea ice extent in September Ice extent is decreasing, but regional patterns are very different every year
3 The Cryosphere Today, February 22, 2014 Strong seasonal variability Smaller, decreasing trends in winter
4 Arctic sea ice decline Strong decline in summer Climate models (IPCC) underestimate actual rate of decline Tipping points?
5 The surplus heat needed to explain the loss of Arctic sea ice during the past few decades is on the order of 1 W/m 2. Observing, attributing, and predicting such a small amount of energy remain daunting problems Kwok and Untersteiner, 2011
6 Arctic sea ice shrinkage due to increasing air temperatures? Antarctic expansion related to stratospheric vortex and ozone hole Figure by J. Hansen, NASA/GISS Arctic versus Antarctic sea ice trends
7 Why do we care? Arctic Amplification -> impact on ice sheets/caps and permafrost Better access to the Arctic Consequences for local, regional, global eco- and human systems
8 Serreze and Barry, 2011 Arctic Amplification Through snow and ice-albedo feedback Arctic warms more rapidly than any other region Impacts on permafrost, Greenland ice sheet and Arctic glaciers (SEA LEVEL RISE), regional (and global?) weather
9 Arctic Amplification Thin ice feedback Figure shows observed Sep- Nov temperature anomalies ( minus ), and corresponding September anomalies in the number of days with ice cover (dark blue bars) and in ice concentration (black line) Bering Strait North Pole Fram Strait Warming due to longer ice-free season thinner ice Serreze et al., 2009
10 Other observations of sea ice change Ice drift Ice age Ice thickness
11 Ice drift and thickness Ice drift mainly governed by mean wind patterns Dependent on sea level pressure Long-term mean
12 Increased ice drift speed and deformation International Arctic Buoy Program Data Ice mean speed has increased over the last 29 years: +17% per decade in winter, +8.5% in summer Changed ice rheology? Rampal et al., JGR, 2009
13 Retreat of the oldest, thick multiyear ice Tschudi, Maslanik et al, NISDC
14
15 Upward looking sonar (ULS): Military nuclear submarines of USA & UK since 1958
16 EM thickness sounding Seymour Laxon, UCL
17 Airborne Sea Ice Observatory Real-time ice thickness surveying and other airborne and satellite remote sensing Buoy deployments to observe sea ice drift (TC approved)
18 Typical AEM thickness profile
19 Processes changing the ice thickness distribution Thorndike et al., 1975 Flato & Hibler, 1995 Hopkins, 1998 etc Haas, 2003
20 Artcic thickness snapshot, April 2009
21 Ice thickness north of Ellesmere Island between 83 N and 84 N, Mean thickness decreased from 5+ m to <4 m Modal thickness decreased from >4 m to < 3 m Large variability in may be due to redistribution of old MYI Maslanik et al., GRL, 2011
22 Satellite laser and radar altimetry ICESat & CryoSat NASA & ESA Method relies on assumptions of snow and ice density and snow thickness
23 Synthesis of North Pole ice thickness changes from ULS, ICESat, and EM Note seasonal and regional differences Kwok & Rothriock, 2009; Haas, 2008 & updated Lincoln Sea, Canada
24 Skidoo EM thickness surveys Community based observations in Canadian Arctic Close collaboration with local hunters and Canadian Rangers
25 Thin ice in Jones Sound Discovery of thin ice in fjords Due to enhanced ocean heat flux Possible future polynyas?
26 Polynyas and primary productivity Melling, Haas, Brossier, unpublished
27 Home Bay, Baffin Island (May 2014)
28 The Future
29 Consequences Easier shipping? Better access to natural resources? Threat to Canadian Sovereignty? Last refuge for sea ice
30 Northwest Passage & Northern Sea Route 46 vessels used NSR in in 2011, 4 in % cargo increase from 2011 Included first fully loaded LNG tanker
31
32 Multiyear ice in the Northwest Passage Ice thickness survey in 2011
33 Ship-based ice thickness surveys Ship performance & design; Exploration activities & ice management
34 Ice drift
35 Ship performance and ramming Haas et al., 1999
36 Observing Arctic Sea Ice Change Sea ice is an important part of the climate system and closely interacts with and controls the Arctic atmosphere Disappearance of Arctic sea ice in summer seems likely just when is completely unclear Present trend is a consequence of preconditioning towards thinner, younger ice and superimposed interannual variability Need for observation system comprising in-situ, airborne, and improved satellite data of the ocean-ice-atmosphere system
