Here is what this sea ice change looks like in graph form around Svalbard in the #Arctic (available from cryo.met.no/en/sea-ice-i... using @osisaf.bsky.social data).
Zack Labe@zacklabe.com · 2y agoA look at how #Arctic sea ice responded to the recent southerly flow of excessive heat and moisture. This same event resulted in the sudden anomalous temperature spike around the North Pole... Data is from the 3-km AWI SIC-LEADS algorithm using AMSR2 satellite.
Global sea surface temperatures are nearing the 21°C threshold again this year, reaching 20.986°C on February 9. The 21°C threshold was broken for the first time on March 16, 2023. Before 2023, the previous record high was 20.991°C on March 6, 2016. How high will SST's go this year? Stay tuned!
Loving all the sensible #climatechange discussions on this platform!
