A brief report on the Arctic - 10/31/2018

The Arctic today

Colourful but Arctic ice is a complete mess as the sun sets over the North Pole. I find it difficult to pinpoint exactly where this is but it is somewhere to the north of Canada or Alaska

Temperature anomalies

Absolute temperature levels

Still very warm in the Arctic. Temperatures I have read off Nullschool are -5.1 C, - 7.0 C, and - 18.6 C

The lowest temperature I can find is -20.3 C (near the Pole)

 

 Methane levels - not the very highest but very high levels in Northern Siberia.
