ScienceArctic sea ice melt seasons reportedly level off after decades of lengthening
Phys.org reports that melt seasons are about 40 days longer than in 1979, but their length has stayed relatively stable since around 2010 as cloud patterns changed.
TLDR
Phys.org describes a new NASA-led study finding that Arctic sea ice melt seasons have plateaued after decades of earlier spring melting and later fall freezing. The outlet reports that melt seasons remain about 40 days longer than in 1979, with their length relatively stable since around 2010 as cloud patterns changed.
