Modeling Arctic Waters

Scientists can model how sea-ice melts, the movement of glaciers, Arctic weather conditions and much more with supercomputers. These models help us understand Arctic trends and help predict the future of climate change.

IMPACT of ‘THICK NORTON Sound Ice on BERING Sea’?:
Beginning in EARLY November,2011, SUB-Zero Temperatures began THICKENING and EXPANDING the extent of the SOUTHERN Norton Sound SHORE-FAST Ice.
-30 TO -40+ SUB-Zero Temperatures during the MOST of DECEMBER, JANUARY, Last HALF of February and MOST of MARCH CONTINUED the THICKENING & EXPANSION of Ice Coverage.
When the SOUTHERN Norton Sound SHORE-FAST Ice FINALLY broke into LARGE, THICK Ice Floes during the LAST Week of JUNE – It was blown into the Mid- to NORTHERN-Bering Sea, MOSTLY Between St. Lawrence and St. Paul.
