Sea ice extent in the Bering Sea has very likely reached its maximum for the season in NSIDC data. Current extent is the highest for Mar 28 since 2013. Unlike the record spring of 2012, extent is much above normal in the eastern Bering Sea but below normal on the Russian side. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

More bad news for climate monitoring. Much like the fiasco with satellite derived sea ice info last summer, the very short notice of termination of a product that’s been available for decades has real world consequences. #Arctic #SeaIce

Arctic sea ice shrank to tie its lowest winter level as unprecedented heat shatters records globally

Vital Arctic sea ice shrank to tie its lowest measured level for the winter, the season when ice grows, as a warming Earth shattered records across the continents.

Satellite-derived sea ice thickness around Alaska for the week ending March 26 courtesy AWI. Ice is thicker than 2011-25 median along the Alaska Chukchi coast and in the southeast Bering Sea, where the 15-year median extent is zero. Ice in the northern Bering Sea rather thin. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Satellite-derived sea ice thickness around Alaska for the week ending March 26 courtesy AWI. Ice is thicker than the 2011-25 median along the Alaska Chukchi coast and of course in the southeast Bering, where the 15-year median ice extent is zero. Mostly thinner than average ice in the northern Bering Sea St. Lawrence Island westward. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

#Winter #SeaIce in the #Arctic Ties a Record Low
#Ice is vanishing worldwide as humans burn #fossilfuels for energy and emit #greenhousegas. But it’s disappearing particularly quickly in Arctic, which is warming four times as fast as rest of the planet.
Only 5% of the oldest, thickest sea ice recorded in the 1980s has survived to the present day. In the same amount of time, summertime sea ice cover has been halved, shrinking by some 12% per decade.

Winter Sea Ice in the Arctic Ties a Record Low

Ice plays a vital role in reflecting away planet-warming sunlight. The Arctic is warming much faster than most other parts of the world.
