Arctic sea ice loss - climate model projections - Marika Holland, NCAR

NCAR scientists Marika Holland and David Bailey used the Community Climate System Model to study the possible future impacts of climate change on sea ice in the Arctic. The visualizations of their research in this video show the percent of ocean water covered by ice, which is called the sea-ice concentration. The first visualization uses monthly data from their computer simulation, from 1979-2007. The second shows the computer model's portrayal of the state of the ice every September, from 1850-2100. (Visualization by Tim Scheitlin, NCAR) More about the Community Climate System Model: www2.ucar.edu
