Beaufort quick update
It's been a week since I announced that the ice in the Beaufort Sea was going to come under early pressure. Here's a quick update on what has happened so far, how the forecast played out, and what the short-term conditions for this part of the Arctic will be. As expected, the Beaufort Gyre kick...
Just noticed today that there is melting just north of the Queen Elizabeth Islands/Ellesmere Island. QEI are in the mid 50s according to the weather forecast. This is like the most frozen part of the Arctic. Probably melt ponds but if it separates from the land the whole Arctic is adrift.

Beaufort and Northwest Passage videos
Over on the Arctic Sea Ice Forum commenter Jim Hunt from the Great White Con blog posted videos he made, showing developments since the start of the month in the Northwest Passage (where the blue ice is breaking up fast): Events since April 1st in the Beaufort Sea have been even more spectacula...
This year, the Northern Route and Northwest Passage may open before Hudson Bay completely clears of ice. Astounding
Also, Lean 2000 is 15 years ago. There have been major changes in interpretation of solar insolation back to Maunder, and also TSI as measured by satellite

The other shocking thing is that the variability in Antarctic sea ice has really increased a lot from 1980.

Shock news!
There is no shocking news, really. I'm just emulating a way of news reporting as seen in recent months by folks trying to play down the long-term shocking news of Arctic sea ice loss. You know, paid climate science disinformers like Benny Peiser who claimed that the poles aren't melting, twisti...
What Eli tells his students is you can use Google to find the answer and Google to find the anti-answer. You need to learn how to smell the difference

The entrance to the NWP main channel is open on the Alaska side and the main channel itself is showing signs of melting. This could be interesting.
What is different this year is how compact the ice has remained.

ASI 2014 update 7: late momentum
During the melting season I'm writing (bi-)weekly updates on the current situation with regards to Arctic sea ice (ASI). Central to these updates are the daily Cryosphere Today sea ice area (SIA) and IJIS sea ice extent (SIE) numbers, which I compare to data from the 2005-2013 period (NSIDC has...
Very well done (given the gremlins, of course) and thanks for doing this.

SIPN presentation
I totally forgot to keep an eye on this, but apparently videos have been put up of last month's Sea Ice Prediction Network workshop that was held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. As announced at the time I did a short presentation on Arctic sea ice, public pe...
No, Eli does not wish to live in an interesting melting season. He wants to live in dull times, where the climate is not changing much.
If there is one thing that makes Eli really really angry it is that because of the idiots we now watch with fascination as the climate takes us to hell.

Getting ready
With the melting season getting ready to go full speed, I'm also busy getting everything ready. First of all on the virtual level by updating the Arctic Sea Ice Graphs page. I've slightly altered the daily graphs page, by adding a couple of links, graphs and category names to make it easier to ...
The temperatures on the Arctic coast of European Russia are off scale today. 26C in Khatanga, which is maybe why that part of the ice pack is melting.

WRT bubbles, why yes, they help, esp underwater with submarines but also with hulls

Yamal to the rescue
A couple of weeks ago it was decided that Russian research station NP-40 (or SP-40 in Russian) would need to be evacuated, because the ice floe it was sitting on was breaking into pieces. There hasn't been any news since then, but apparently the evacuation started last weekend, as the German N-T...
The high in Tiksi today was 25C/75F

NSIDC Arctic sea ice news mid-July 2011
The National Snow and Ice Data Centre has just released mid-month analysis. A few snippets: As of July 17, 2011, Arctic sea ice extent was 7.56 million square kilometers (2.92 million square miles), 2.24 million square kilometers (865,000 square miles) below the 1979 to 2000 average. Sea ice is...
