The dramatic loss of Arctic sea ice is ringing alarm bells in the minds of climate scientists, policy makers, and the public. The extent of perennial sea ice-ice that has survived a summer melt season-has declined 20% since the mid-1970s. Its retreat varies regionally, driven by changes in winds and heating from the atmosphere and ocean.
