"June marks the beginning of the melt season for Arctic sea ice, which reaches its minimum extent at the end of the season in September. In the past few Septembers, Arctic sea ***ice concentration*** (the amount of ice in a given area) has been markedly reduced. September 2002 set a new record low at 15 percent below average. It was followed closely by September 2003 and September 2004. So far, 2005 is shaping up to be another record-low sea ice year in the Arctic."

întinderea de gheaţă
Aceasta crestere a temperaturii a influentat
cantitatea de gheata ce s-a format in zona, astfel intinderea de gheata a scazut cu aproximativ 1.2 milioane de kilometri patrati.

Tendinţa pe 30 de ani arată că întinderea de gheaţa anuală, maximă, ce are loc în martie, se micşorează cu 2.7% pe deceniu, informează BBC.

Sea ice extent and concentration
Definition
Sea ice extent is the ocean area in which a defined minimum of sea ice can be found.
Sea ice concentration is the proportion of the ocean area actually covered by ice in the area of the total sea ice extent.
Rationale
Changes in sea ice concentration (extent) play a major role in ocean-atmosphere fluxes of heat, moisture, and momentum. Climate models predict major changes in ice cover for a doubling of CO2 levels with impacts on global climate and ocean thermohaline circulation. Ice concentration and extent are required to validate sea ice models and for change detection.

ice concentration
concentration—(Also called compactness.) The fraction of sea surface area covered by ice, usually expressed in tenths.
For example, 9/10 concentration implies that 90% of the local area is ice covered, with the remaining 10% being open water.

Eu i-as spune chiar asa: concentratie de gheata.
