Arktični led: Razlika med redakcijama

[[Morski led]] ima pomemben vpliv na ravnovesje toplote polarnega oceana, saj izolira (relativno) toplo morje od hladnejši zrak kar zmanjšuje toplotne izgube iz oceana. Morski led je visoko odseven, odbije 60% sončnih sevanj ko ni pokrit s snegom in 80% ko je pokrit s snegom. To pomeni da je veliko večja odbojnost ledu kot odbojnost morja ( okoli 10 % ) in s tem prav tako vpliva na absorpcijo sončne svetlobe na površini.<ref name="Buixade Farre 2014">{{cite journal |first1=Albert |last1=Buixadé Farré |first2= Scott R. |last2= Stephenson|first3= Linling|last3=Chen|first4=Michael |last4=Czub |first5= Ying|last5=Dai |first6=Denis |last6=Demchev |first7= Yaroslav |last7=Efimov |first8=Piotr |last8=Graczyk |first9=Henrik |last9=Grythe |first10=Kathrin |last10=Keil |first11= Niku|last11=Kivekäs|first12=Naresh |last12=Kumar |first13=Nengye |last13=Liu |first14=Igor |last14=Matelenok |first15= Mari|last15=Myksvoll |first16=Derek |last16= O'Leary |first17=Julia |last17=Olsen |first18= Sachin|last18=Pavithran .A.P. |first19=Edward |last19=Petersen |first20=Andreas |last20=Raspotnik |first21=Ivan |last21=Ryzhov |first22=Jan |last22=Solski|first23= Lingling|last23=Suo|first24=Caroline |last24=Troein|first25=Vilena |last25=Valeeva|first26=Jaap |last26=van Rijckevorsel |first27=Jonathan |last27=Wighting |date= 16 October 2014 |title=Commercial Arctic shipping through the Northeast Passage: Routes, resources, governance, technology, and infrastructure |journal=[[Polar Geography]] |publisher= [[Taylor & Francis]] |page=14 |doi= 10.1080/1088937X.2014.965769 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1088937X.2014.965769 |archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20151205092242/http://gfzpublic.gfz-potsdam.de/pubman/item/escidoc:676888:6/component/escidoc:826920/676888.pdf |archivedate=December 5, 2015 |deadurlurl-status=nolive }}</ref>{{citation needed|reason=More references need to be cited to support this paragraph|date=December 2015}}
