#iceextent — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Dozens of new boosts on @ClimateMigration today... Because you know what today, June 5th is?

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

Take a few minutes today to get informed about what is happening to our world.

Follow @ClimateMigration to keep abreast of #climate and #ClimateScience developments.

Not sure how to say this delicately, but...

...since starting @ClimateMigration yesterday, the vast majority of Followers are from outside the US. Understand this is not a fun subject, but the disparity in attention to this topic is pretty striking.

Daily Weddell Sea #iceextent has been *record-low for two weeks*;
-right now, the ice extent is less than the previous lowest extent for this day of the year by more than 200.000 km².

I found it interesting to plot the 2023 values against the record max/min (dashed line) and the climatology for the 1980s (purple) and 2010s (green). Are the seasonal variations flattening out in the Weddell Sea?

Still decreasing #Antarctic #seaice extent.

* Each day, #iceextent holds the record-low for this time of year.

* Approaching the yearly minimum, AND approaching an ALL-TIME minimum:

Today, 2.32 mill km²

The three lowest yearly minimums:
- 2022-02-18 2.17 mill km²
- 2017-03-01 2.24 mill km²
- 2023-??-?? ?.??

And #forecasts agree on a continuous decrease in the next days.

Since the beginning of 2023, #Arctic #seaice has been among the 2nd to 8th lowest on record for each day during January; today being the 2nd-lowest after the same day in 2018.
According to the short-term #forecasts the #iceextent will keep increasing in the next few days.

Do you see a trend in the #global #seaice?

Since 2016, the global sea-ice extent has constantly been lower than average within the satellite era of observations.
December 2022 is the second-lowest (December) #iceextent observed in the Antarctic since 1979.

#Snow extent in the Northern Hemisphere has reached a record maximum! This is mainly due to the snow-rich North Asian region.

This favors the formation of a "cold high" there, which in turn strengthens and possibly prolongs the blocking of the North Atlantic/Eurasian flow pattern.
