  1. 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

  2. "all this ICE got me changing my climate"

    Small seaice bot progress update, mostly done with downloading and ingesting the entire US as vector shapefiles, converting to GeoJSON and a touch more work to index into the db.

  3. The U.S. National Ice Center's Northwest Passage (connecting the northwest Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean) sea ice analysis product was last updated three weeks ago. This is not helpful.

  4. “Frozen Waves”

    Photographer Jan Erik Waider is a master of capturing incredible landscape imagery. In these videos, he uses a drone to film waves in the Baltic Sea gently undulating polygonal slabs of ice on the ocean surface. The interplay of light, color, and motion looks almost surreal, but nature is better than we credit at making imagery too good to look away from. (Video and image credit: J.

  5. Whorls of Sea Ice

    Fresh snow shines white on the southern end of Greenland in this satellite image, taken in late February 2025. Whorls of sea ice sit off the coast, where they trace out patterns that reflect the winds and ocean currents of the region. Arctic sea ice typically reaches its largest extent by early March before experiencing a long season of melting. Both the presence and absence of sea ice have a large effect on the Arctic regions. Sea ice helps dampen wave activity; without it, seas are higher and more dynamic, creating more aerosols that seed cloud cover in the Arctic and elsewhere. (Image credit: L. Dauphin; via NASA Earth Observatory)

  6. 🛰️ NEW SEA-ICE PRODUCT 🛰️
    Our #SeaIce team at #MetNorway and #DMI has been working hard to ensure you reliable and lasting access to sea ice concentration Climate Data Record.
    Today we release as demonstrational product of a new #AMSR-2 based Interim CDR (OSI-438)

  7. 🌐❄️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲!

    We’re excited to launch the updated version of 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹.𝗱𝗸 – your gateway to 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗲𝗮 𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁.

    📊 On 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹.𝗱𝗸, Danish research institutions share up-to-date monitoring and expert knowledge on the state of the Arctic cryosphere.

    𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮, 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻:
    • Surface conditions on the Greenland Ice Sheet and its major outlet glaciers
    • Total mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its contribution to global sea-level
    • Sea ice extent, thickness and volume in the Arctic
    • Temperature anomalies of sea ice and the open sea in the Arctic
    • Icebergs around Greenland

    The portal is powered by the Danish research institutions #DMI, #GEUS, #DTUSpace and #DTUByg and supported by data from #Asiaq - Misissueqqarnerit - Grønlands Forundersøgelser and #PROMICE (promice.org/).

  8. Another visualisation of our Sea Ice Index includes regional visuals and dynamic figures. Have a look at cryo.met.no/en/sea-ice-index
    We strongly advise you to scroll the index menu down, and have a try at the interactive visualizations!

    Our #SeaIce team at #MetNorway and #DMI is currently working on an improved version. We will keep you up to date soon!

The VIIRS snow/cloud discriminator image Wednesday afternoon showing increase areas of bare ground on the north side of the Brooks Range and ice or open water on the northward following rivers, but still snow cover across most of the low elevation North Slope (yes, higher elevation snow melting first is normal in this region). Large area of open water also evident off the Alaska Chukchi Sea coast. Image courtesy UAF/GINA. #akwx #Arctic #Spring2024 #SeaIce @Climatologist49 @cinderbdt @Jdnome

  14. 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.
