ARCTIC ALBEDO DECLINES FASTER THAN SEA-ICE DECLINE
2023 Summertime measurements of Earth-reflected sunlight from the North Polar region with the GPS-based radiometers.
Increased reflectance is decreased Albedo cooling effect
Arctic sea ice albedo decline has a feedback effect that amplifies Arctic warming. Less sea ice means less reflected solar energy and increased heat absorption by dark open ocean water
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-39877-x |  | ARCTIC AMPLIFICATION - MOST IS SEA ICE WEATHERING
The heating of the Arctic is up to four times faster than the global average warming – well known Arctic amplification due to albedo (loss) feedback. This research (2023) finds two thirds of the feedback is due to weathering of the summer sea ice (thin ice, melt ponds).
