New dataset: sea ice drift, tracked daily. Discover daily gridded data from satellite sensors showing how Arctic and Antarctic ice moves. Essential for tracking climate change impacts.
New dataset: https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/datasets/satellite-sea-ice-drift

This dataset is produced by the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (@eumetsat) Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (@osi_saf) and made available by the #CopernicusClimate Change Service (through its Climate Data Store).

In September, the #SeaIce global extent was 5.8% below 1991-2020 mean. Since the beginning of records (1978):
- #Arctic, 13th lowest monthly mean, with 11.5% less extent than normal(-681,066km²)
- #Antarctic, 4th lowest monthly mean, with 4.7% less extent than normal (-897,973km²)
As usually, September is the month when the Arctic sees its minimum extent (5,071,505km² on 07/09/2025) and the Antarctic its maximum (18,281,296km² on 13/09/2025)

I had a great time presenting Open licensing for the better sharing of climate data on behalf of @creativecommons at #EUMETSAT2025. The program committee had lined up the talks in the track Open Science and FAIR Principles from wider topics to the more narrow and technical in the end that brought everyone along. Lots of good intentions in the room with people trying to influence organizations to increase sharing and collaboration.
