The unprecedented 2016-17 Arctic sea ice growth season : the crucial role of atmospheric rivers and longwave fluxes

The 2016-17 Arctic sea ice growth season (October-March) exhibited the lowest end-of-season sea ice volume and extent of any year since 1979. An analysis of MERRA2 atmospheric reanalysis data and CERES radiative flux data reveals that a record warm and moist Arctic atmosphere supported the reduced s...
