NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Library has a study appearing in tomorrow’s Geophysical Research Letters on the shrinking polar ice caps.
Overland and his co-author, Muyin Wang, a University of Washington research scientist with the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean in Seattle, analyzed projections from six computer models, including three with sophisticated sea ice physics capabilities. That data was then combined with observations of summer sea ice loss in 2007 and 2008.
On their website they have a nice quicktime movie of their results showing some better-than-average visualization of the ice coverage.
