    Less #UVlight may mean less carbon storage in Antarctic tundra

    The #Antarctic ozone layer is recovering, a major environmental success following the #MontrealProtocol. As the #ozone layer heals, less #ultraviolet radiation reaches the Antarctic surface—a change usually viewed as beneficial for living organisms.
    But a new field study suggests that the ecological story may be more complicated.

  7. Last month was the 3rd lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of August.

    This was 1,260,000 km² below the 1981-2010 August average. Data from nsidc.org/data/seaice_index

  21. "Vast regions of the #Antarctic coastline were #IceFree for the first time in the observational record.

    "To say unprecedented isn't strong enough," Dr Doddridge said.

    "For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it's five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we'd expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years."

  22. @lavergnetho #ncmaps is definitely the best update to #ncview since 2017! I use it for quite some time now and don’t want to miss it anymore. Giant thanks for taking the pain out of ncview and even more for making this eye-candy solution publicly accessible!

    Screenshots below show present-day #Antarctic bed topography and ice thickness from the #Bedmap2 dataset using colormaps topo and dense from #cmocean.
