    Bearing in mind that it was also proposing putting an instrumented aircraft pretty close to an international marine boundary, so the political landscape forms part of planning.

  3. That time I asked for aerial imagery supporting an Arctic expedition, timed to coincide with field sampling / drone flights / already planned satellite overpasses. This is one map (of 3), one possible flight path - the "small scenario".

    While it had a solid science rationale supported by existing publications - and attracted a lot of big names to the table - the support request was denied.

  4. 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
