Researchers have been examining data from the satellite to study the loss of Arctic sea ice volume. Researchers involved in the study believe that shifts in summer temperatures have a much bigger effect on sea ice volume than previously expected, the BBC reports. Compared to the average of the period between 2010 and 2012, a 33 percent increase in sea ice volume was found in 2013 and and in 2014 there was still a quarter more ice than during that period. The satellite uses a sophisticated radar that is capable of measuring the thickness of sea ice from its orbit in space. The researchers have been studying sea ice volume over the last five years using the polar monitoring spacecraft to estimate the volume of the Arctic. They used "88 million measurements of sea ice thickness from Cryosat and found that between 2010 and 2012, the volume of sea ice went down by 14%." This is far less than what computer models predicted would happen in the Arctic.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_7bdbd5818364e59b34e4cdc13468302e.jpg
