Of the huge ice sheets of Greenland is almost all started melting suddenly surprised scientists this month is a little abnormal events.
But Greenland melt cold best place is showed at the summit station. Last ice core records showing during about 1 time 150 years happened in 1889.
Blanket of unprecedented Island three satellite call NASA ice melting, continued 7/8 from four-day view. Little remains of the thickness of the ice. Some ice usually melts during the summer, the fusion Flash usually what was happened in a broader area.
"Had you literally wash warm air in the Greenland ice sheet to melt this wave of" NASA ice scientist Tom Wagner said Tuesday.
According to NASA, 4, 97% from 40% in the melting of ice in the ice went. Until now, most extensive melt seen 30 years in the past by the satellite was 55%.
Wagner, is the researchers do not know melting of the Greenland ice as far as how much, said seems to freeze again.
"We see, at least long period in places will sit and what is happening or we haven't seen before hearing it melted? "Greenland NASA Chief Scientist said. This is the meaning we come, is going to organize the large signals.
About the same time, in northern Greenland was broke off from a giant iceberg Petermann glacier. Announced that the area has been at a record low near filled in Arctic sea ice Tuesday national snow and ice data center.
Yet by the rare event of a natural or man-made global warming triggers cannot determine the one said the melting of the entire Greenland happened before Wagner and other scientists. But they know already thinning that edge of the Greenland ice because of climate change.
Summer Greenland where cat warm. Park the island lead to melt ice and snow, warm and sunny, often high-pressure system Georgia University weather Thomas mote explains.
Says he and others are similar to the high-pressure system parked in the American Midwest bring the warmth of a record drought.
Ice scientist Jason box, Ohio State University, he returned Tuesday from 3-week visit he said he usually cold weather equipment ditched the Nevada dons cotton pants.
"Sunny was warm all local people how was talking about the weather" is after getting the box, an airplane. Beyond "t-shirt weather.
