Two months before the end of the melt season, the #Arctic sea ice extent is at 7.25 million km², 20% below the 1981-2010 median extent (orange line on the #NSIDC map below) and now tracking just below the record minimum year of 2012. Quite surprising to see that close to the North Pole, there are areas with only 50% ice coverage (colored in red).

For #genuary10 "polar coordinates", I wanted to take the prompt quite literally and draw a map of the poles.
The sketch shows Antarctic sea-ice extent in September for the years 2005 (pink), 2011 (purple), 2018 (blue) and 2025 (black), in a radius range ~2500 to 4000 km from the pole.
The data is from #NOAA #NSIDC and its continuation is threatened by US administration budget cuts on climate research.#genuary #genuary2026 #genuary10 #antarctic #climate #dataviz #plotter

It seems that President Trump's continuing war on climate science is going to adversely affect my own "#Arctic citizen science" work:

"I frequently post a summary of the Arctic section of the United States’ National Snow and Ice Data Center’s monthly review of the current state of the #cryosphere.
However, this month I have some additional bad news to report. According to a May 6th 'Level of Service Update for Data Products' from the #NSIDC:
'Effective May 5, 2025, #NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (#NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (#COGS).
As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported.
Sea Ice Index...
If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at [email protected]. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.'
If you are a resident of the US you may also wish to contact your local friendly neighbourhood politician(s) about the matter?"

Die #NOAA hat zentrale #Schnee- und #Eis-Datensätze wie den Sea Ice Index und die #Glacier Photograph Collection auf „Basic“-Service herabgestuft.
Diese Produkte bleiben zugänglich, werden aber nicht mehr aktiv gepflegt.
Die Entscheidung betrifft Forschung, Bildung und #Klimaplanung weltweit. Nutzende sind aufgerufen, ihre Erfahrungen zu teilen, um künftige Unterstützung zu sichern.

Die US-Behörde #NOAA hat rückwirkend die Finanzierung zentraler #Meereis- und #Gletscher-Datensätze eingestellt.Diese Entscheidung betrifft wichtige #Klimadaten zur #Arktis, die für #Forschung, #Wirtschaft und #Bevölkerung in #Alaska und darüber hinaus von großer Bedeutung sind.
Die Einstellung gefährdet fundierte Entscheidungen im Umgang mit #Klimawandel und #Umweltveränderungen.

Truly truly heartbreaking.
Wanton destruction of invaluable climate data work, by the truly evil people running the US government.
The times we live in.

We are still missing access to US SSMIS #satellite data. Those are the satellites we (@osi_saf) and #NSIDC use for the #SeaIce index data. Our last data point was Sept 11.
It is not the first time this complex stream of data is interrupted, but rarely has the pause be that long.
It is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it is frustrating when this happens around the date of the yearly september minimum in the #Arctic.
