oops I already did this one! And annotated it!
Notes follow Fierz et al's international snow classification scheme. Used... everywhere.
Sure, a single photo would also do this. However, there were future ideas in mind...
Whats that you say? a 3D model of a snowpit using RGB + NIR imagery?
Sure.
It's a baby sea ice snowpit, but still - nice salty crust! That will be confounding for radar altimeters.
Why? Isn't just a photo enough? Well maybe. This was for future reasons not yet fully realised. Someone funded will probably go do this and write a paper now 🤷♂️
Made in 2021 on the Nansen Legacy Q2 expedition.
Sea ice extent in the Bering Sea remains above the 1991-2020 median, but with little ice in Russian waters and high ice extent on the Alaska side of the Bering. However, ice is melting. The ice edge is now north of St. George Island and increasing lower concentration areas north of the pack ice edge a sure sign of Spring. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe
The Union for the Conservation of Nature has officially classified emperor penguins as ‘Endangered’ due to climate change reducing the amount of sea ice in Antarctica.
