Artic Amplification
Artic amplification is the phenomenon that any change in the net radiation balance tends to produce a larger change in temperature near the artic than in the planetary average.
- As sea ice declines, it becomes younger and thinner, and therefore more vulnerable to further melting.
- When the ice melts entirely, darker land or ocean surfaces can absorb more energy from the Sun, causing additional heating. Arctic amplification is driving ice sheet melt, sea level rise, more intense Arctic fire seasons, and permafrost melt.
