Recent and future changes in Arctic sea ice simulated by the HadCM3 AOGCM
Abstract
The HadCM3 AOGCM has been used to undertake an ensemble of four integrations from 1860 to 1999 with forcings due to all major anthropogenic and natural climate factors. The simulated decreasing trend in average Arctic sea ice extent for 1970–1999 (−2.5% per decade) is very similar to observations. HadCM3 indicates that internal variability and natural forcings (solar and volcanic) of the climate system are very unlikely by themselves to have caused a trend of this size. The simulated decreasing trend in Arctic sea ice volume (−3.4% per decade for 1961–1998) is less than some recent observationally based estimates. Extending the integrations into the 21st century, Arctic sea ice area and volume continue to decline. Area decreases linearly as global‐average temperature rises (by 13% per K), and volume diminishes more rapidly than area. By the end of the century, in some scenarios, the Arctic is ice‐free in late summer.

In the Arctic, sea-ice extent has been found to be linearly related to global-mean temperature, atmospheric CO2 concentration, and anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
“In the Arctic the latter has been found to be linearly related to global-mean temperature (e.g.Gregory et al., 2002;Niederdrenk and Notz, 2018), atmospheric CO 2 concentration (e.g.Johannessen, 2008;Notz and Marotzke, 2012) and anthropogenic CO 2 emissions (Zickfeld et al., 2012;Herrington and Zickfeld, 2014;Notz and Stroeve, 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
