#barents — Public Fediverse posts

Operational processing and dissemination of the Level 3 SMOS Sea Ice Thickness product have resumed for the winter season 2025/26.

Unfortunately, RFI-induced data gaps continue to affect the #Barents–Kara sector of the #Arctic #Ocean

Shadow fleet plays name game in Arctic waters

The owners of the LNG tankers that have lied idle in the Russian part of the #Barents Sea for almost five months suddenly decided to give the ships new names and flag states.

Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro #Pletenchuk has reported that the Admiral #Levchenko, a large Russian anti-submarine ship, has caught fire in the #Barents Sea in the Arctic Ocean.

Bird flu outbreak hits #Barents Sea coast

Reports are coming in about hundreds of dead birds from #Hammerfest in the west to #Murmansk in the east.

Openings in #seaice have begun on the Siberian shelves.
Furthermore, #Barents and southwestern #Kara seas exhibit abnormally low #iceextent.

Maps show the first two weeks of June - mean and anomaly.

I repeat myself with updated #icedrift animation:

Since the end of February, #icedrift has favored increased #seaice conditions around #Svalbard and #Barents Sea. This is a month of southward drift here!

Since the end of February, the #icedrift has favored the increased #seaice conditions around #Svalbard and northern #Barents Sea.

While the #Arctic #seaice extent is 5th lowest for this day of the year, records of the day are being set:

*** Record Low ***
#Barents Sea ice extent

#Kara Sea ice extent

** Second-lowest on record **
#Svalbard region ice extent

Five consecutive days of strong northward #icedrift causes a rapid drop in the #seaice conditions in the regions of #Svalbard and northern #Barents Sea.

The drop in the #seaice extent in the #Barents Sea is difficult to miss in this figure.

Are we going towards a record-LONG #icefree Barents Sea? 🤔

Shall be interesting to see what this strong northward #icedrift will do to the #seaice around #Svalbard and northern #Barents Sea.

Status of the #January #seaice in the #Arctic:

- Sea-ice extent came out as the 3rd-lowest on record.
- And, again, the #Barents Sea is the "hot-spot" region with the largest sea-ice anomalies.

#Barents #seaice extent was very low in 2022 after June and is still very low now mid-winters in #2023.

The #anomaly map shows the anomaly of sea ice so far in January (day1 to day18).

Greenland will not use its fisheries agreement with Russia to fish for cod and other fish in the Barents Sea in 2023, and no Russian fishing vessels will have access to the usual quotas of halibut and other fish in Greenland’s waters. https://www.arctictoday.com/greenland-halts-cooperation-on-fish-with-russia/
