Trends in September #Arctic sea ice thickness over approximately the last four decades (yes, that shows thinning everywhere)... πŸ§ŠπŸ“‰

Data from PIOMAS. For more information: doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-17-0436…

Polar stereographic map showing decadal trends in Arctic sea ice thickness for Septembers from 1979 to 2023. All areas are experiencing thinning ice, which is shown with a red color shading. Thickness trends are shown in units of meters per decade.

The fear built into all of us made this happen. We are becoming poor in our minds because we trade our lives for profit. We do not train our minds to see, to be in a state of awareness. We are blindβ€”a poor nation, with ugly values, illusions created by fear. We cannot face the fear we are running from; instead, we feed it with pleasure.

There is a dark, damp, wooded valley near where I have been camped, in the Kirroughtree forest, this week.

The wood is just how I always pictured Tolkien's Mirkwood, dark with all the trees and rocks covered in moss.

Quick look at August sea surface temperature trends across the #Arctic, which are warming nearly everywhere that sea ice is not found. We'll have an update on this in our next Arctic Report Card, which will be released in December.

Last year's summary: repository.library.noaa.gov/vi…

Polar stereographic map of sea surface temperature trends for Augusts from 1979 to 2023. Red shading is shown for warming trends, and blue shading is shown for cooling trends. All areas of the ocean are observing warming.

July 2024 data is now available for both Antarctic sea-ice thickness/volume (zacklabe.com/antarctic-sea-ice…) and global sea-ice volume (zacklabe.com/global-sea-ice-ex…) from GIOMAS.

Last month's global sea-ice volume has fallen to near-record low levels for the month of July in this dataset.

Here's your Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 4th lowest on record (JAXA data)...

β€’ about 340,000 kmΒ² below the 2010s mean
β€’ about 1,360,000 kmΒ² below the 2000s mean
β€’ about 2,310,000 kmΒ² below the 1990s mean
β€’ about 2,990,000 kmΒ² below the 1980s mean

Plots: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-ex…

Line graph time series of 2024's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with white for the 1980s, green for the 1990s, blue for the 2000s, and purple for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2002 to 2022. 2024 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between June and September by looking at the decadal average line positions.

Post by Catherine na Nollag I still think my favourite thing that's ever happened to me on the internet is the time a guy said "people change their minds when you show them facts" and I said "actually studies show that's not true " and linked TWO sources and he said "yeah well I still think it works".

Join me in tracking this year's #Arctic sea ice minimum!

Sea ice melt substantially slows every September as solar energy decreases and temperatures drop in the far north.

Follow along with the data at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-ex…

Line graph time series of 2024's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. Scatter points are also shown for the previous annual minimum years from 2002 to 2023. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent. 2012 is current the all-time record low.

Trends in July #Arctic sea ice concentration are more extensive and begin to surround the central Arctic, including areas like the Beaufort, Chukchi, East Siberian, Laptev, Kara, Barents Seas

[Sea ice concentration = fraction of ice-cover. More info: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-23-0079…]

Polar stereographic map showing Arctic sea ice concentration trends for Julys from 1979 to 2023. Red shading is shown for deceasing sea ice, and blue shading is shown for increasing sea ice. Trends are calculated in % per decade. All areas are observing decreasing sea ice in the outer edges of the Arctic Ocean.

Due to anomalous conditions ongoing in the #Arctic and #Antarctic, the total extent of sea ice globally is a record low for the date and nearly *4 million square kilometers* below the 1981-2010 average...

The year 2023 is also highlighted in yellow, which is the current absolute magnitude record low. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. There is substantial interannual and daily variability. Data from the NSIDC.
