The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Tiny Satellites to Make Crucial Arctic Climate Measurements For the First Time


The Arctic is warming about twice as fast as the rest of the planet, but major questions remain, including how quickly sea ice will retreat, and how much of Greenland’s ice will slide into the sea, over the decades to come. A new NASA-led experiment could help deliver answers, by measuring a key component of the Arctic’s energy balance from space for the very first time.
