The effects of Arctic sea fog on glacier melt

北极海冰的破裂导致雾，雾通常是夏季海洋和沿海地区的主要云类型。雾在内陆减弱。最近的快速气候变化影响了北冰洋和陆地的云量，但尚不清楚这对沿海地区的影响。许多北极冰川位于沿海到内陆的过渡地带，那些经常有夏季雾覆盖其低海拔的沿海冰川融化减少。虽然这一点已经得到承认，但对沿海过渡区雾的范围和趋势以及雾对冰川融化和行为的区域和地方影响的了解有限。

Breakup of Arctic sea ice causes fog, which is often the dominant cloud type in summer over oceans and coastal regions. Fog diminishes inland. Rapid recent climate change has affected cloudiness over Arctic ocean and land, but it is not clear how this has affected coastal regions. Many Arctic glaciers are located in the coast-to-inland transition zone, and those coastal glaciers with frequent summer fog covering their lower elevations experience reductions in melt. Although this has been recognized, understanding of fog extent and trends in coastal transition zones and regional and local effects of fog on glacier melt and behaviour is limited.
