ice cover

Pervasive ice cover for eight to nine months out of the year can block relief ships in case of a blowout.

This strange kind of ice cover works only on plants that are strong enough to stand the weight of frozen spray.

However, the method for predicting the ice-cover breakup based upon the mechanical principle is in short supply.

The European space agency's mission to assess the state of the world's ice cover is likely to launch in February.

Rising Arctic temperatures have reduced floating ice cover by 20 percent over the last three decades.

As the ice cover in the frozen North continues to shrink, the amount of territory available to these bears. . .

Three British explorers are about to embark on a survey to map the Arctic Ocean's sea-ice cover.

The amount of ice cover and its thickness are two measures of the health of the Arctic Sea.

Plateau were covered with thick snow and ice cover, like a layer quilt.

Sellars incorporated various empirical relations between ice cover and surface temperature.

One of the scientists says the past six years have shown the lowest Arctic sea ice cover ever measured.

A couple of high winds here, an abnormal cold snap there, and ice cover that had looked fragile can suddenly appear robust.

The lack of polar sea ice cover, sea relatively warm air to cold air will move, affecting the polar atmospheric circulation.

In the two years before my swim, 23 percent of the arctic sea ice cover just melted away.

The discrepancy can be explained by long term changes in vegetation and ice cover.

Temperature and salinity vary seasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes .

He says changes to the ice cover also affect Arctic wildlife and people who depend on the local environment.

Arctic sea-ice cover reached its lowest ever recorded average level for the month of June.

In just one year, the Arctic Ocean has lost an area of year-round ice cover the size of Texas.

However, the evidence seems clear that the ice cover is diminishing in most other regions of High asia and the world.

"Polar bears are unlikely to survive as a species if there is an almost complete loss of summer sea-ice cover, " the report said.

Snow and ice cover the lid for them, everything was quiet, no music, no dance, which is donated to their nature back to a grand funeral.

Eighty-five percent of the ice cover that was present in 1912 has vanished, the scientists said.

So there's this vicious cycle that sets up when you start losing sea ice cover.

Such precipitous loss of ice cover far outpaces anything climate models or scientists have predicted.

'The average thickness of the Arctic sea ice cover is declining because it is rapidly losing its thick component, the multi-year ice.

Ice cover for 2008 was almost as bad as for 2007, and this year levels look equally sparse.

The heavy ice cover even would cause the collapse of tower.

The study found an average ice cover of about fifteen million square kilometers in March.

The trend also helped to melt Arctic sea ice cover to a record low for December last month, the WMO said in a statement.

In 2008 and 2009, scientists feared the record-thin Arctic ice cover might melt away.

The 30-year trend shows the maximum annual sea-ice cover, usually seen in March, is shrinking by 2. 7% per decade.

Ice cover for 2008 was nearly as bad as for 2007, and this year levels look equally sparse.

Because of climate change, the Arctic Ocean's summer ice cover is now half of what it was 50 years ago.

Ice cover waxed and waned.

For example, an icy Equator alone can't tell scientists the extent of ice cover around the world.

Arctic sea ice cover shrank to a record low this year, according to the US National Snow and Ice Data Center.
