The combination of melting sea ice and global warming are contributing to the different rates. Professor Ian Simmonds from the University of Melbourne's School of Earth Sciences, co-author of the study, said this information showed that a combined effect at ground and atmospheric level played a key role in raising the rate of warming in the Arctic. "Loss of sea ice contributes...
