Arctic Climate System

The Arctic Climate System involves interactions between the atmosphere, sea ice, ocean, and land, all influenced by the Earth's climate. The region experiences cold temperatures, with sea ice expanding in winter and melting in summer. These ice changes affect global weather patterns and sea levels. Warming temperatures due to climate change are reducing ice cover, which further accelerates warming by exposing darker surfaces that absorb more heat. The Arctic plays a key role in regulating Earth's climate and is highly sensitive to environmental changes, making it an important area to monitor for understanding global climate dynamics.
