What changes is the Arctic climate

experiencing?

Precipitation will increase by approximately 20%. Sea ice

will continue to shrink considerably, reflecting less solar radiation

and increasing regional and global warming.

The area covered by snow in the Arctic is expected to decrease

by 10 to 20%. These forecasts assume that warming

will occur gradually. However, the possibility of sudden and

unexpected changes cannot be ruled out.
