Assessing trend and variation of Arctic sea-ice extent during 1979–2012 from a latitude perspective of ice edge

Arctic sea-ice extent (in summer) has been shrinking since the 1970s. However, we have little knowledge of the detailed spatial variability of this shrinking. In this study, we examine the (latitudinal) ice extent along each degree of longitude, using the monthly Arctic ice index data sets (1979–201...
