Evidence for ice-ocean albedo feedback in the Arctic Ocean shifting to a seasonal ice zone

Abstract Ice-albedo feedback due to the albedo contrast between water and ice is a major factor in seasonal sea ice retreat, and has received increasing attention with the Arctic Ocean shifting to a seasonal ice cover. However, quantitative evaluation of such feedbacks is still insufficient. Here we...
