So much cool and important research at @ncar-ucar.bsky.social - from health to environment to buildings and hazards. I couldn’t help but share. Thanks, NCAR! 🙌🏼

🙏 @highcountrynews.org & @cuanschutz.bsky.social for making sure I heard about this super science.

Combined sea ice extent in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas (north and northwest of Alaska) is the highest it's been at this point in the season in 25 years in NSIDC data. Nonetheless it's still well below the typical extent of the late 20th century. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Shadows of icebergs are stretching northwards as the Arctic autumn Sun makes its final brief visits before polar night.

More than 4.2 million km² of Arctic ocean that used to freeze has now gone over a year without sea ice. Above 80°N the sea still refreezes every winter; nearly two thirds of the loss sits below 60°N.

🧊 Broken ice predicts September's Arctic low

Chinese researchers found that the amount of loose, broken ice at the Arctic's edge in summer is a strong clue to September's ice cover. Adding ocean data sharpened forecasts.

Sea ice extent in the Beaufort Sea (north of Alaska, NW of Canada) is the highest for Oct 10 since 2009 in NSIDC analysis. Current ice extent would have been typical in the early 2000s. Chukchi Sea ice extent is also well above the 1990-2020 median but similar to 2021. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Thank you to everyone who came by our stand at BREMENwelt Wissenschaft (BREMENworld Science)! And for all those who couldn't make it, did you come up with an answer? 🧊
