Arctic Cyclones Wreaking Havoc on Sea Ice | Science News
Scientists reveal how back-to-back Arctic cyclones are devastating sea ice through a phenomenon called “cyclone clustering,” where storms hit one after another without giving ice time to recover. These rapid, overlapping systems tear apart ice floes, prevent refreezing, and amplify melt via wind, warmer air, and ocean heat — with impacts up to seven times stronger than single storms. Over the past 20 years, this trend has accelerated Arctic ice loss, especially late in the melt season, creating a dangerous feedback loop: thinner ice becomes more vulnerable to storms, which further weakens it…
