The state of Arctic ice
Last
year I vowed and declared that I would not be pulled into monitoring
the Arctic sea ice. However, I have been pulled in because it looks
so dire.
One
mistake I made last year was to place too much emphasis on Neven’sArctic sea ice blog and not enough on the actual raw evidenc.
His
latest PIOMAS report is available HERE.
A
few months ago Neven announced he was withdrawing because he was
depressed about the situation. He seems to have sprung back but is
taking a very conservative view of things.
Perhaps
the best update is from Paul Beckwith?
This
is up-to-date and from the US navy website and shows just how thin
the ice is getting in the Arctic.
Another way of seeing it...
“The
ice in the ESS previously got hit hard by heat blowing off of
Siberia. The ice now looks much like the Kara did about 3 weeks ago.
The Beaufort and what remains of the Chukchi are as bad or worse.
There's about 2 million KM2 of soup in this image”
Here's
a general view
