    snow isn’t just snow. There are clear differences if you compare, e.g., the Arctic and Antarctic. While the snow on the Arctic sea ice is completely melting over the course of the year, and so-called meltwater [...] effectively it insulates, and as such reduces the transfer of heat from the ocean to the atmosphere. However, the less warmth the ocean gives off, the thinner the sea ice remains. Therefore the snow not only [...] 23.09.2019 Scientists Prepare for Year-Long Expedition to Arctic Center Find out more > EOS | 06.09.2019 Light Permeates Seasonally Through Arctic Sea Ice Find out more > Dialogue & Lectures Lecture | 09
