[HTML][HTML] The role of declining Arctic sea ice in recent decreasing terrestrial Arctic snow depths
The dramatic decline in Arctic sea ice cover is anticipated to influence atmospheric
temperatures and circulation patterns. These changes will affect the terrestrial climate
beyond the boundary of the Arctic, consequently modulating terrestrial snow cover.
Therefore, an improved understanding of the relationship between Arctic sea ice and snow
depth over the terrestrial Arctic is warranted. We examined responses of snow depth to the
declining Arctic sea ice extent in September, during the period of 1979–2006. The major …
