Global warming and climate change have been the subjects of great concern for a long time. One of the main indicators of this phenomenon is the melting of ice in the polar areas. Researchers from Tongji University in Shanghai use NASA’s satellite data to track the changes in the ice cover in Antarctica for more than two decades. The latest study states that despite the increase in global temperature, Antarctica has gained ice in recent years. However, it cannot be considered a miracle reflection in the phenomenon of global warming because during these two decades, the general trend is a large ice loss. Most of the gains are caused by the increased precipitation of the unusual rain on the Antarctica.
About the new study
According to the new TicketAnd people recovery of gravity and Climate (Grace) and Grace Sype-on Satellites have monitored this ice cover since 2002. The ice sheet covering Antarctica is the largest mass of ice on Earth
Satellite data revealed that the paper witnessed a sustainable period of ice loss between 2002 and 2020. It lost ice loss in the last half of that period, as it increased the average loss of about 81 billion tons (74 billion tons) between 2011 and 2020, between 2002 and 2010, to about 157 billion tons (142 billion tons) between 2011 and 2020. According to To study. However, the direction and then turned.
The ice cover gained a mass from 2021 to 2023 at an average rate of about 119 billion tons (108 metric tons) per year. Four of the ice rivers in East Antarctica turned from the rapid loss of ice to a significant increase in the mass.
The general trend in global warming
Climate change does not mean that everywhere on Earth will become hotter at the same rate, so you will not tell one region the full story of the world of warming.
Historically, temperatures on a large part of the Antarctica remained relatively stable, especially compared to the Arctic. The marine ice in Antarctica was more stable for the Arctic, but this was changing in recent years.
