A new NASA forecasting model based on satellite measurements is allowing researchers to make better estimates on how much ice will melt and be lost. The Arctic has been losing ice every year as the ice slowly starts to melt away, however it has not always been able to be forecasted to know how much ice will be lost. Each year the sea ice starts to melt in the spring following wintertime, scientists still struggle to estimate exactly how much ice they expect will disappear through the melt season. NASA's forecasting satellite model will allow researchers to make precise estimates. Source:NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Date:March 3, 2017 NASA's new satellite forecasting model is a huge improvement allowing measurements for researchers to a lot more accurate on how much ice will melt and be lost. The science community has done measurements on physical characteristics, however there were problems with this method that was not accurate enough. This new technology will allow scientists correlate the measurement to was is causing the lose of ice, and will purpose new ways on how to slow it down.
