ScienceTechyNews: Ocean's 'seasonal memory' affects Arctic climate change

Researchers found out that the Arctic does not lose ice uniformly. Different seasonal patterns are at play depending on region: From the early 2000s, the ice cover in the Eurasian Arctic has been shrinking even in the winter period, while the American region only lost ice in the summer. The team explains this in terms of seasonal memory: a response of the winter ice cover to the atmospheric conditions in the previous summer.
