CORA dataset temperature and salinity of global oceans Army uniform between 1941 and 1945, Music The decline in Arctic sea ice both in extent and thickness over the last several decades is further evidence for rapid climate change. Sea ice is frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface It covers millions of square kilometers in the polar regions varying with the seasons In the Arctic some sea ice remains year after year whereas almost all Southern Ocean or Antarctic sea ice melts away and reforms annually Satellite observations show that Arctic sea ice is now declining at a rate of 13.2 percent per decade relative to the 1981 to 2010 average the 2007 Arctic summer sea ice retreat was unprecedented Decades of shrinking and thinning in a warm climate has put the Arctic sea ice in a precarious position it is now vulnerable to atmospheric anomalies. "Both extent and volume anomaly fluctuate little from January to July and then decrease steeply in August and September". This decrease is because of lessened ice production as a result of the unusually high SAT During the Arctic summer a slower rate of sea ice production is the same as a faster rate of sea ice melting.

Senate The nascent Meiji state required a new military command for its operations against the shogunate In 1868 the "Imperial Army" being just a loose amalgam of domain armies the government created four military divisions: the Tokaido Tosando San'indo and Hokurikudo each of which was named for a major highway. Overseeing these four armies was a new high command the Eastern Expeditionary High Command (Tosei daiso tokufu) whose nominal head was prince Arisugawa-no-miya with two court nobles as senior staff officers. This connected the loose assembly of domain forces with the imperial court which was the only national institution in a still unformed nation-state the army continually emphasized its link with the imperial court: firstly to legitimize its cause; secondly to brand enemies of the imperial government as enemies of the court and traitors; and lastly to gain popular support to supply food weapons and other supplies for the campaign the imperial government established logistical relay stations along three major highways These small depots held stockpiled material supplied by local pro-government domains or confiscated from the bafuku and others opposing the imperial government Local villagers were routinely impressed as porters to move and deliver supplies between the depots and frontline units! Government initiatives Memorial sculpture in Westminster Abbey London England Monetary policy is referred to as being either expansionary or contractionary Expansionary policy occurs when a monetary authority uses its tools to stimulate the economy An expansionary policy maintains short-term interest rates at a lower than usual rate or increases the total supply of money in the economy more rapidly than usual It is traditionally used to try to combat unemployment in a recession by lowering interest rates in the hope that less expensive credit will entice businesses into expanding This increases aggregate demand (the overall demand for all goods and services in an economy) which boosts short-term growth as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) growth Expansionary monetary policy usually diminishes the value of the currency relative to other currencies (the exchange rate).
