NASA's Arctic Ice Monitoring Program

NASA's Arctic Ice Monitoring Program uses satellites, aircraft, and climate models to observe changes in Arctic sea ice. It tracks ice extent, thickness, and timing of freeze and melt seasons to understand how warming temperatures impact the region. The data helps scientists assess climate trends, predict future changes, and understand implications for global sea levels and ecosystems. This comprehensive monitoring is essential for informing climate policy and improving our understanding of how the Arctic responds to global warming.
