ASI 2016 update 1: both sides
During the melting season I'm writing (bi-)weekly updates on the current situation with regards to Arctic sea ice (ASI). Because of issues with data based on the SSMIS sensor aboard DMSP satellites, I mainly focus on higher-resolution AMSR2 data from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA...
Thanks! Have you noticed the interesting excursion the Antarctic freeze-up is taking?

Dark objects on ice sink can even when they are "lighter" than the ice and even if there is no snowfall at all. Mechanism is that sun warms the object, and the water drains away under it or evaporates away from the margins. The density difference doesn't matter much with a solid you are melting your way into.

Unprecedented Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Melt
This just in from NASA (hat-tip Apocalypse4Real): Satellites See Unprecedented Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Melt July 24, 2012: For several days this month, Greenland's surface ice cover melted over a larger area than at any time in more than 30 years of satellite observations. Nearly the entire...
It occurs to me that when you have a sea ice slush, adding snowfall could cause a quick surface freeze by changing the concentration of salt at the surface.

SIE 2011 update 21: post mortem
During the melting season I'm regularly writing updates on the current sea ice extent (SIE) as reported by IJIS (a joint effort of the International Arctic Research Center and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and compare it to the sea ice extents in the period 2005-2010. NSIDC has a good ...
