[quote:Krispy71:MV8xMTEzNTg2XzI4NDQ3NTk4X0Y5QUU3OUFB] [color=blue][u][b]Arctic settles into new phase – warmer, greener, and less ice[/b][/u] December 1, 2011 http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2011/20111201_arcticreportcard.html [i]An international team of scientists who monitor the rapid changes in the Earth’s northern polar region say that the Arctic is entering a new state – one with [b]warmer air[/b] [b]and water temperatures[/b], less summer sea ice and snow cover, and a [b]changed ocean [u][/color][color=darkred]chemistry[/color][/u][/b]. [color=blue]... Monica Medina, NOAA principal deputy under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere. “With a greener and warmer Arctic, [u]more development is likely[/u]. Reports like this one help us to [u]prepare for increasing demands on Arctic resources[/u] so that better decisions can be made about how to manage and protect these [b][u]more valuable and increasingly available resources[/u][/b].” Among the 2011 highlights are: •Atmosphere: In 2011, the average annual near-surface air temperatures over much of the Arctic Ocean [u]were approximately 2.5° F (1.5° C) greater[/u] than the 1981-2010 baseline period. •Sea ice: Minimum Arctic sea ice area in September 2011 was the second lowest recorded by satellite since 1979. •Ocean: Arctic Ocean temperature and salinity may be stabilizing after a period of warming and freshening. [u]Acidification of sea water (“ocean acidification”) as a result of carbon dioxide absorption[/u] has also been documented in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas. •Land: Arctic tundra vegetation continues to increase and is associated with higher air temperatures over most of the Arctic land mass. The Report Card tracks the Arctic atmosphere, sea ice, biology, ocean, land, and Greenland. This year, new sections were added, including, greenhouse gases, ozone and ultraviolet radiation, ocean acidification, Arctic Ocean primary productivity, and lake ice. The Arctic Report Card http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/reportcard/ is available online. [/i][/color] [/quote]
