Can regional climate engineering save the summer Arctic sea ice?
... Sea ice is an important climate component in the Earth system [Solomon et al., 2007]. Considerable reductions in Arctic sea ice extent have been observed in the past years, due in part to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations [Stroeve et al., 2007; Serreze et al., 2007a; Kay et al., 2011; Holland ...
