At the start of the emperor penguin chick fledging season five colonies have already been affected by early sea ice breakup. The purple dots below show which ones. Not as bad as the last two years, but worse than average.

Hi Bluesky! We have a paper out today in The Cryosphere: doi.org/10.5194/tc-1... about Antarctic sea ice trends in observations and climate models (+huge thanks to co-authors, not on BlueSky) (thread: 1/6)

Brief communication: New perspectives on the skill of modelled sea ice trends in light of recent Antarctic sea ice loss

Abstract. Most climate models do not reproduce the 1979–2014 increase in Antarctic sea ice cover. This was a contributing factor in successive Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports allocat...
