RSSThis summer’s melt of Arctic sea ice has not been as profound as in the last two years, scientists said as the ice began its annual Autumn recovery. At its smallest extent this summer, on 12 September, the ice covered 5.10 million sq km (1.97 million sq miles). This was larger than the minima seen [...]
The 15th century Vinland Map, the first known map to show part of America before explorer Christopher Columbus landed on the continent, is almost certainly genuine, a Danish expert said Friday. Controversy has swirled around the map since it came to light in the 1950s, many scholars suspecting it was a hoax meant to prove [...]
Global sea ice levels remain around their long-term average.
National Snow and Ice Data Center, 18th February 2009: ‘Satellite sensor errors cause data outage’ As some of our readers have already noticed, there was a significant problem with the daily sea ice data images on February 16. The problem arose from a malfunction of the satellite sensor we use for our daily sea ice [...]
As with the Arctic, the finding in this data is that there is no clear evidence of a change in the start of freeze up or the start of the melt. Unlike the Arctic sea ice, of course, the Antarctic maximum sea ice areal coverage has actually tended to be increasing in recent years. As [...]
A new Arctic temperature analysis reveals ‘No clear evidence of a delay in the start of the later summer/early fall freeze up or the start of the late winter/early spring melt’ – William Chapman, author of The Cryosphere Today website, graciously prepared an analysis of the dates of the minimum and maximum Arctic sea ice [...]
Two papers on the role of winds and atmospheric circulations in Arctic sea ice losses, one of which is ‘in press,’ have been published in GRL: Summer Retreat of Arctic Sea Ice: Role of Winds, by Ogi et al (in press) The Abstract states: The unprecedented retreat of first-year ice during summer 2007 was enhanced [...]
Recent mapping of a number of raised beach ridges on the north coast of Greenland suggests that the ice cover in the Arctic Ocean was greatly reduced some 6000-7000 years ago. The Arctic Ocean may have been periodically ice free. ”The climate in the northern regions has never been milder since the last Ice Age [...]
