According to computer models, the layer of haze in the Arctie begins to build up in late December, peaks in March and April and then dissipates.

ABSORBS ENERGY Scientists are not sure what impact this warming might have, but early tests indicate the haza absorbs a substantial part of incoming solar energy at this time of year There have been reports of a reduction in the amount of pack ice in the Arctic in recent years, but there is no direct evidence to tie it to the haze. The average surface tem perature of the world has risen slightly in recent years, probably a result of the so-called Greenhouse Effect, in which carbon dioxide traps heat, scientists speculate, and this also could account for a melting of Arctic ice. izers that they have received a special exemption from the federal freeze on discretion ary funding which was im posed on Feb. 6, and that they will receive their or. ganizing grant.
