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

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.

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.

I repeat myself with updated #icedrift animation:

Since the end of February, #icedrift has favored increased #seaice conditions around #Svalbard and #Barents Sea. This is a month of southward drift here!

Since the end of February, the #icedrift has favored the increased #seaice conditions around #Svalbard and northern #Barents Sea.

While the #Arctic #seaice extent is 5th lowest for this day of the year, records of the day are being set:

*** Record Low ***
#Barents Sea ice extent

#Kara Sea ice extent

** Second-lowest on record **
#Svalbard region ice extent

Source: #OSISAF

Five consecutive days of strong northward #icedrift causes a rapid drop in the #seaice conditions in the regions of #Svalbard and northern #Barents Sea.

The drop in the #seaice extent in the #Barents Sea is difficult to miss in this figure.

Are we going towards a record-LONG #icefree Barents Sea? 🤔

Shall be interesting to see what this strong northward #icedrift will do to the #seaice around #Svalbard and northern #Barents 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.

Forecasts: #ECMWF, #CMEMS, #GOFS

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

- Sea-ice extent came out as the 3rd-lowest on record.
- And, again, the #Barents Sea is the "hot-spot" region with the largest sea-ice anomalies.

#Barents #seaice extent was very low in 2022 after June and is still very low now mid-winters in #2023.

The #anomaly map shows the anomaly of sea ice so far in January (day1 to day18).

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.
