P-Maker thanks for your insights. I called for them and got them and updated the blog post as I said I would to reflect them. I did not have foehn listed initially, nor did I say that I did. I suspected that was the case but waited for a comment from Ruth Mottram before adjusting. I also received input from Jason Box suggesting the opacity is from aeration. I am sure I will get more good feedback and will update the blog accordingly. This was a search for an answer . Notice the conclusion in terms of why this is important I have added. That is melange removal from in front of glaciers does impact velocity and calving rates as Moon et al (2015) observed. http://blogs.agu.org/fromaglaciersperspective/2016/01/17/what-is-up-in-disko-ummanaq-bay-greenland-this-week/

PIOMAS January 2016
Another month has passed and so here is the updated Arctic sea ice volume graph as calculated by the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) at the Polar Science Center: As of December 31st total sea ice volume, as modeled by PIOMAS, is still lower than it was in pre-201...
I realize there was foehn and I was look at the Kan stations because they provide a longer term temperature record for perspective. The post indicates foehn conditions.

Looking for insights regarding interesting developments noticed by Tenney in Disko/Uummannaq Bay this week.

The MODIS for 5/10 indicate the sea ice extends less than 15 km beyond the terminus of Glaciers in Melville Bugt, including Steenstrup Glacier. Will we get more new islands this summer.

2014/2015 Winter analysis
If you want to know where you're going, it helps to know where you're coming from. This also goes for Arctic sea ice. Even though the long-term trend is down, it's difficult to tell what will happen in any given melting season. Two things can help us get an idea: initial sea ice state and subse...

Steve Bloom reporting from 2014 AGU FM
A while ago, commenter and now guest blogger Steve Bloom offered to visit the 2014 American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting, starting tomorrow and ending on Friday, and report for the ASIB on interesting presentations concerning the Arctic. Unfortunately the AGU Public Information Office has t...
What did Bieber do, I missed it. This is certainly an event I expected this summer, but not this early. There is not a next rift like there was in 2010, indicating the next likely calving point. It is certainly hard to keep up with the changes on an ice sheet that is notably slow to change.
Commented Jul 18, 2012 on Petermann calves again at Arctic Sea Ice
Petermann calves again
Petermann Glacier has calved another large ice island, about half the size of the calving of two years ago, which amounts to about two Manhattans. This is what it looks like: This second big calving (spotted this time by Arcticicelost80) is another spectacular event on Greenland this year, fol...
