NASA: Arctic Sea Ice at 12th Lowest Level on Record ‘Arctic Sea Ice 12th-Lowest on Record’ first appeared on NASA Earth Observatory and was written by Kathryn Hansen. Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and neighboring basins appears to have hit its annual minimum extent on September 16, 2021, after waning in the spring and summer. The summertime extent is the twelfth lowest in the satellite record, according to scientists […] SnowBrains | September 23, 2021 3 Comments
Arctic Sea Ice Decline Impacts California Based on satellite imagery, the Arctic sea ice reached its maximum extent for the year in March. According to the National Snow & Ice Data Center, this year’s maximum of 5.65 million square miles was the 9th lowest since reporting began 43 years ago. This number is 305,000 square miles below the 1981-2010 average. While the Arctic sea ice has […] Weather Miles Wong | April 22, 2021 1 Comment
Arctic Sea Ice Could Be Gone By 2035 The Nature Climate Change journal has published a new study that predicts Arctic sea ice could be gone by 2035. Scientists have said if what is happening in the Arctic right now compares to the last interglacial period, it could be free of sea ice in about 15 years. Yet it could be anywhere between 2035 and 2086. Related: Arctic […] Brains Rouchelle Gilmore | August 18, 2020 3 Comments
Arctic Sea Ice is at Second Lowest Summer Minimum Ever Recorded This article was written by Michon Scott and Rebecca Lindsey, and first appeared on the NOAA website The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported that Arctic sea ice extent—the area where ice concentration is at least 15 percent—dipped to 1.60 square miles (4.15 million square kilometers) on September 18, 2019, and has since been increasing. Barring a major storm […] Industry News WeatherBrains | September 27, 2019 0 Comments
Are You Down with Global Cooling? | Arctic Summer Ice INCREASES by 60% in 2013 It was a colder than normal arctic summer this year. Cold enough to allow the August 2013 arctic sea ice to grow by 60% as opposed to a year ago in August 2012. The arctic pack ice grew by nearly 1 million square miles as compared to a year ago. August 2012 was the lowest amount of pack ice ever […] SnowBrains | September 9, 2013 3 Comments
