Modelling the future of the arctic sea ice cover
Myklebust, Erik Bryhn (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-01)Record lows in sea ice cover have recently sparked new interest in the small ice cap instability. The change in albedo when sea ice becomes open water introduces a nonlinearity called the ice-albedo feedback. Forcing a joint energy- balance and sea ice model can lead to unstable ice caps in certain parameter regimes. When the ice caps are unstable, a small perturbation will initiate a tipping point ...
