Dec 6, 2023 · Because sea ice is created from seawater, it does not contribute to rising sea levels when it melts. How are scientists studying sea ice? Group Operations Leader John Kemp uses a hook to recover a top float mooring in the Beaufort Sea of the Arctic Ocean to acquire vertical profiles of temperature salinity and velocity in the water column ...

Jan 2, 2025 · NSIDC ARCTIC SEA ICE AREA (5-day trailing average): 11,563,964 KM2 as at 16-Jan-2025 Hudson Bay sea ice area increasing strongly but sea ice area about one month later than the 2010's average. This suggests (to me) the increased possibility of an early and/or rapid melt in a month or two. St Lawrence sea ice area at an extreme low.

Jan 2, 2025 · The data and graphs of NSIDC Arctic sea ice area for this late in the freezing season are at extremes that I, for one, have not seen before. NSIDC ARCTIC SEA ICE AREA (5-day trailing average): 11,717,519 KM2 as at 03-Feb-2025 - Area loss on this day 89k, which is 115 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 26k,

Jan 2, 2024 · NSIDC ARCTIC SEA ICE AREA (5-day trailing average): 10,660,207 KM2 as at 30-Dec-2024 Sea ice area losses in Hudson Bay and the Barents have put the brake on sea ice area gains in the Peripheral Seas. With about 0.5 million km2 less sea ice area and 2 weeks behind the 2010's average at this date, the period left for sea ice gains and sea ice ...

Feb 2, 2025 · Global sea ice extent is already at a record low minimum, 0.23 million km2 below the record low in 2023. JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT: 15,274,825 KM2 as at 07-Feb-2025 - Extent loss on this day 74k, 64 k more than the average loss …

Sea ice which has become honeycombed and is in an advanced state of disintegration. Sastrugi, (sing. sastruga). Sharp, irregular ridges formed on a snow surface by wind erosion and deposition. On mobile floating ice, the ridges are parallel to the direction of the prevailing wind at the time they were formed. Sea ice. Any form of ice found at ...

Sep 15, 2024 · The continental slope north of Svalbard is a key example regarding the role of ocean heat for the sea ice cover. Our study underlines the complexity of the ocean's heat budget that is sensitive to the balance between oceanic heat advection, vertical fluxes, air-sea interaction, and the sea ice cover. Key Points

Feb 9, 2025 · JAXA ARCTIC SEA ICE EXTENT: 12,867,935 KM2 as at 09-Feb-2025 - Extent gain on this day 55k which is 57 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 2k, - Extent gain from minimum on this date is 8,795 k, which is 585 k, 6.2% less than the 10 year average of 9,380 k. - Extent is 1st lowest in the 47 year satellite record.

Jan 2, 2021 · NSIDC Sea ice EXTENT gain on this day 26 k, 24 k less than the 2010's average gain of 50k - 2021 EXTENT is at position #4 in the satellite record. - 2021 EXTENT is 162 k less than the 2010's average - 2021 EXTENT is 587 k less than the 2000's average - 2021 EXTENT is 64 k more than 2017
