Yes Ice levels had been tracking lower throughout much of 2008, but rapidly recovered in the last quarter. In fact, the rate of increase from September onward is the fastest rate of change on record, either upwards or downwards. The data is being reported by the University of Illinois's Arctic Climate Research Center, and is derived from satellite observations of the Northern and Southern hemisphere polar regions.

What is the difference between sun synchronous polar orbit and a synchronous polar orbit?
A synchronous polar orbit satallite crosses the equator at the same time each day while the sun synchronous polar satellite appears in the sky at the same time every few days. the sun synchronous allow for greater temporal and spatial monitoring under same conditions and also have finer resolution as the polar synchronous imagery is at the continental scale.
What are two ways that Earth and Mars are the same?
they r the same by they bothe have same amount of dry land and bothe have water(mars could have water from its large polar ice caps!)fo more info go 2 google.com,type in this question,and look 4 somthing under NASA artical...somthin like that. THX U XD
What characteristics do Earth and Mars have in common?
Earth and Mars both have atmospheres, surface features such as mountains and valleys, and polar ice caps. They also have similar rotational periods, with Earth taking about 24 hours and Mars taking about 24.6 hours to rotate on their axes.
What is similar about Mars and earth?
Both Mars and Earth are rocky planets with polar ice caps, a thin atmosphere, and evidence of past water flow on their surface. They also have similar day lengths, with Mars having a day length of roughly 24.6 hours.
What is the same about earth and mars?
They are both rocky, relatively the same size and shape, contain water (though mars has only trace amounts). Both have atmospheres, are relatively close to the sun. Both hypothetically capable of supporting life. But if you need to compare them they would be the same.earth similar to mars is sphere shape .
Describe what is happening to polar ice caps?
Since 1979 (when we first started observing them) the Arctic has shrunk just under 4% overall while the Antarctic has had a slight overall gain. The net ice distribution has changed but can be (arguably) the same overall.
For the same insolation order these regions from highest absorption to lowest Nevada desert marshy wet land polar ice caps Atlantic ocean?

Where is ice on the moon thought to exsit and why does it remain frozen?
The moon's ice is on the polar caps and because it's on the polar caps it is always frozen like Antarctica. I hope I helped with your homework. I'm doing the same paper. Pg. 245 question #10 right?
What is vegetation like in the polar ice caps?
I am trying to find out the same thing. Its probably not much though. i will post more if i find out.
What is the highest level you can get offline Modern Warfare 2?
10th prestige Level 70 as Online and Offline have the same level and prestige Caps.
What does mars have in common with the earth?
Here's some ideas : Its day length is almost the same as Earth's. Its axial tilt is almost the same as Earth's. It has volcanoes. It has polar ice caps.
Could artificial snow be used to replinish our melting polar ice caps?
I had a similar idea with recycled plastic used to make large sheets to extend the polar ice caps back to what they were 30 years ago. I'm with you. Reflects the sun the same. Returns the climate to 30 years ago. Should even make it snow, in theory & bring back the natural snow where it should be. I think it is about the science of light reflection's effect on climate. Artificial polar ice caps.
What are glacier and polar ice caps?
this means that the polar bears habitat is melting because of global warming and climate change. other ways: the ice is melting because of climate change and global warming this means that polar bears are being extinct.

Which is most likely result of the polar ice caps melting?
cities on the ocean would be in danger of flooding. apex
How do you predict if the substance is polar slightly polar or non-polar by looking at its structure?
If all sides are the same its non-polar, but if they are different then the substance is polar.
What is the difference between an ice cube melting and the polar caps melting?
An ice cube melting is the process of solid ice turning into liquid water due to an increase in temperature. The polar ice caps melting refers to the large masses of ice at the Earth's poles (Arctic and Antarctic) melting and contributing to rising sea levels, which has significant implications for global climate change.
