Sea ice extent in the Bering Sea is close to normal in NSIDC data, and with storminess this week, ice extent is likely to drop significantly. There is more shorefast ice on the Alaska coast from Yukon River delta northward than in many recent years. Unusually low ice extent on the Russian side of the Bering Sea. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

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.
