What is the ice-albedo feedback and why model it?
The ice-albedo feedback is computationally simple to model, and it is extremely important to understanding the nature of negative feedbacks.
The Ice Albedo feedback is a negative feedback, meaning that it acts as a stabilizer in the global climate system. It is also one of the most important feedbacks to understand when talking about climate change because its impact is heavily dependent on the rate of ice-melt into the sea....
