A study by NASA has attributed the rapid melting of Arctic Ice to the interactions between cloud formation in the Arctic region and frozen Arctic Water.
The study says that the release of more heat and moisture through the large hole in known as Polynya (A polynya is an area of open water surrounded by sea ice in the arctic) leads to the formation of more clouds, trapping heat in the atmosphere. It results in delayed refreezing and higher rate of melting of arctic ice.
The low clouds formed over the polynya emitted more heat than clouds in adjacent areas covered ....
