Global warming is causing a rapid decline in sea-ice area, which affects weather patterns and, surprisingly, increases wave height in the Arctic. In a new study, Japanese scientists analyzed data from a 2018 research expedition into Chukchi Sea to demonstrate the peculiar link that exists between organic particles on the ocean surface, tall waves, and the formation of ice-containing clouds. Their results pave the way for more accurate climate change and sea-ice models. Some of the most well-known and feared aspects of climate change are its potential effects on weather…
