Your Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record (JAXA data)...• about 510,000 km² below the 2010s mean• about 900,000 km² below the 2000s mean• about 1,290,000 km² below the 1990s mean• about 1,770,000 km² below the 1980s meanAdditional perspectives: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-extentconcentration/

@ZLabe Stalled or close to stalled oceanic circulation at first glance. Hmm…I need to think about this for a bit.

New 'climate viz of the month' blog is out today, comparing two observational datasets to show the warmest decade on record across the wider #Arctic region: https://zacklabe.com/climate-viz-of-the-month/ #DataViz #SciComm #OpenData #OpenScience

@ZLabe Interesting isn’t it? Observation: I sometimes feel like I’m in a dark room boxing shadows. There’s a narrative here that hasn’t been printed yet. It may never be printed is my suspicion.

Have a great week! Here's your Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 2nd lowest on record (JAXA data)...• about 450,000 km² below the 2010s mean• about 750,000 km² below the 2000s mean• about 1,190,000 km² below the 1990s mean• about 1,780,000 km² below the 1980s meanMore graphics: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-figures/

@ZLabe So much for that little bump in the April data, I really thought we were going to end up only 5th lowest or something.

The #Arctic in Norway once flourished with an incredibly diverse ecosystem that is stunning scientists who recently discovered the 'dozens' of species in a cave. Read more: http://dlvr.it/TS2WPj#news #science
