...and the big dog. Longest / biggest, although lower operational risk (slightly) than the stretch north option.

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.

...here's the "stretch north" option - longer, riskier.

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.

In August 2026, the #SeaIce global extent was 7.2% below 1991-2020 mean. Since the beginning of records (1978):
- #Arctic, 12th lowest monthly mean, with 9.1% less extent than normal (-617,526km²)
- #Antarctic, 4th lowest monthly mean, with 6.5% less exent than normal (1,178,424km²)

"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.

Pumping BigXThe Plug while we crawl up ICE's ass....

Oh baby this is kinda the jackpot, just the missing datasets I need!

Looking it over this appears to give me damned near enough data to track kidnappings from start to deportation.

Meanwhile we've got plenty of ground truth data to notice trends, spikes and holes in citizen reporting.

Alright... almost have the website design dialed in.

Time to switch gears and plumb the backend.

Thinking of supporting both receiving alerts as a DM if you're an individual. It can also be setup as integration for Mutual Aid groups so if you want to make a ICE specific alert bot for your area you can OR if you have existing accounts you can wire it up to have posts go out from your account.

@seaice_usa @seaice

#devlog #seaice #icewatch #fuckice #acab

Apologies, the bots were down for 10 hours. Had a crash I didn't notice, adding more reporting so I get outage alerts.

Sorry about the downtime.

@seaice_usa @seaice

#seaice #icewatch #devlog

Alright, finally caught up on sleep.

How's it been working for people?
Do you have feature requests?
Any masto bot best practices?

I'm gonna analyze how the bots been operating and pace of operations.

We haven't had an ICE sighting in Seattle proper for an unusually long time so I'm going to work on supporting the areas seeing ICE more than us.

@seaice_usa @seaice

#devlog #icewatch #seaice #mastoadmin #ice

Indeed, I've setup three alert bots so far and have some big updates coming to enable more regions. See more in my devlog thread linked below

@seaice - Only seattle alerts

@seaice_usa - Every location there's not a specific bot for

@seaice_ma - Massachusetts wide alerts

Aging Salty Ice

When ice forms in salty water, it starts out mushy and porous. Salt does not freeze neatly into ice’s crystalline structure, so the forming ice has pores and gaps where salty brine gathers. As the ice ages, more brine is pushed out and gradually convects downward, due to its greater density. Over time, this makes the ice layer thinner but more solid, with fewer pores. You can see a timelapse of the process in a laboratory experiment below. (Image credit: sea ice – C. Matias, experiment – F. Wang et al.; research credit: F. Wang et al.)

Let's meet people working to provide the best #Ocean satellite observation possible 🛰 🌍. Today, Steinar Eastwood from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute presents how he's been working for OSI SAF #SeaIce and #SeaSurfaceTemperature from our team in #Oslo... Whach this video to learn more !

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
