Sea ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas continues melt, with the total extent slightly higher than 2025 but well below the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data. The higher concentration sea ice near the northeast Alaska coast is thicker multi-year ice from the Canadian High Arctic. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Sea ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas continues melt, with the combined extent slightly higher than last year but well below the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data. The higher concentration sea ice north of the northeast Alaska coast is an area of thicker multi-year ice that moved southwest in the spring from the Canadian High Arctic in the ocean currents. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

Sea ice extent in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas continues to decrease and is below the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data. However, there is still moderately high ice concentrations not far north of the Alaska coast. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

Going a little wild rn. Pulling in a couple levels of GIS data to make scoping bots to any of the entities efficient.

Gotta put on my thinking cap for this one comrades!

Pressure ridge (ice) (Glaciology 🗻)

A pressure ridge is a linear pile-up of sea ice fragments formed in pack ice by accumulation in the convergence between floes in an oceanic or coastal environment. Such a pressure ridge develops in an ice cover as a result of a stress regime established within the plane of the ice. Within sea ice expanses, pressure ridges originate from the int...

For this day-of-year, #Arctic - and #Global #seaice extent comes out as the third lowest on record. #Antarctic #extent comes out as the fourth lowest.

source: #OSISAF SII-v2.1

The 2023 #Arctic #SeaIce maximum #extent may already have occurred.

However, what is certain is that the #UniversityOfWashington's
#Polar Science Center's #PIOMAS modelled sea ice #thickness data for February 2023 has been released:

https://GreatWhiteCon.info/2023/03/facts-about-the-arctic-in-march-2023/

It reveals some of the thickest sea ice remaining in the Arctic Ocean taking the #FramStrait exit from the Central Arctic.

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

- Sea-ice extent was clearly *record-low* for January this year.
- Large negative sea-ice anomalies are seen in #Bellinghausen, #Amundsen/#Ross, and even an open-water region in the eastern #Weddell Sea

Finally, #Arctic #seaice at the beginning of 2023 is the third-lowest #extent on record for this time of the year:
1. 2018-01-02 with 12.80 mill. km²,
2. 2021-01-02 with 12.94 mill. km²,
3. 2023-01-02 with 12.96 mill. km²,
4. 2017-01-02 with 12.97 mill. km²

#Antarctic #seaice also sneaking into 2023 on a record-low #extent value for this time of the year:
1. 2023-01-02 with 5.3 mill. km², followed by
2. 2019-01-02 with 5.6 mill. km²,
3. 2017-01-02 with 5.8 mill. km²

#Global #seaice sneaking into 2023 on a record-low #extent value for this time of the year:
1. 2023-01-02 with 18.3 mill. km², followed by
2. 2017-01-02 with 18.8 mill. km²
3. 2019-01-02 with 18.9 mill. km²
