Sea ice extent in both the Chukchi and Beaufort seas is at the lowest of the season, though it's still the highest for September 12 since 2018 in NSIDC data. The ongoing stormy weather is likely to increase the open water area at least a bit in the next few days. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

🚧Urgent notice to all SSMIS product users 🚧

We've just been informed that #SSMIS from the US #DMSP satellite will stop to be distributed on Monday 30th June 2025.

Consequently, we advise SSMIS only-based #SeaIce products users to urgently change.

Find more information and guidance on our website :

I will not be at #LPS25, Europe's largest 🛰️ Earth Observation conference, in Vienna this week.

But many of my good friends and colleagues will, including those from @osi_saf , #CCI (Climate Change Initiative), and #CIMR (the future satellite in my profile banner). Catch many of them at the #SeaIce session, but also #SoilMoisture and #SMOS15 sessions.

Enjoy the conference, while I enjoy some early vacation in Grenoble 😅.

🚧 Access to SSMIS data from the US #DMSP satellites is becoming less reliable as this satellite program is reaching its end. Data will become scarser with the time until a full stop in 09/2026. Several OSI SAF #SeaIce products are affected.

Fantastic day with the #iClimate crew from @AarhusUni at their annual meeting . A genuinely interdisciplinary #Climate group with talks covering #Energy grids and how to account for #Renewables in #IAMs, how to encourage more people in #FlyingLess plus #palaeoclimate the state of #Arctic #SeaIce + #methane #aerosols #biodiversity and the #Economics of #climateadaptation

They're doing some really great #Science + #SocialScience research. Go check them out.

Looking down at some of the first ice encountered by #HMCSMargaretBrooke during #OpNanook2022. #seaice #arctic #north #canada

The median date for #BeringSea maximum #SeaIce extent is still above a week away, so there's still time for ice to expand significantly IF there is a sustained period of north to northeast winds. However, it's now virtually certain that the 2023 maximum extent will be lower than the 1991-2020 average. #akwx #Arctic #ClimateMonitoring
@Climatologist49 @ZLabe

We'll be tracking the Bering Sea ice extent for the seasonal maximum in the coming weeks. It's possible the max extent happening, now as south to southeast winds are coming this weekend and will continue into next week. But as the graphic shows, it's not uncommon for max #BeringSea #seaice extent to occur in late March or even early April.

Here's another great Bering Strait photo: December 16, 2022 looking west with the helicopter from Nome on approach into Iŋaliq (Little Diomede), #Alaska. There is no runway for fixed wing aircraft at Iŋaliq. Back in the day a runway would be constructed on the #seaice once it stabilized, but those days are gone. That's Big Diomede, Russia across the way. Photo by F. Ozenna and shared with permission. #akwx #BeringStrait @brdemuth @Climatologist49
