Arctic-wide sea ice extent has (very likely) reached the minimum for 2026 In NSIDC analysis. At 4.60 million square kilometers (about 2.5 times the size of Alaska), this ties with last year for the 11th lowest since 1979. But that's still lower than every year's min prior to 2007. #Arctic #SeaIce

Sea ice extent in the Chukchi Sea reached the seasonal minimum on Tuesday while sea ice extent in the Beaufort Sea was still (very slowly) decreasing as of Saturday. Together, ice extent to the north and west of Alaska reached the season minimum on Wednesday, September 16. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Ongoing sea ice melt resulted in a big increase in low concentration ice and open water in the seas north and northwest of Alaska during the second week of August. Ice loss was especially dramatic in the Chukchi Sea in NSIDC data. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Devastating data disruptions for #Alaska & the #Arctic. With no advance notice: "Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS)." #NOAA #SeaIce #Snow

More bad news for climate monitoring. Much like the fiasco with satellite derived sea ice info last summer, the very short notice of termination of a product that’s been available for decades has real world consequences. #Arctic #SeaIce

I had a feeling this was going to happen. Sad news, especially given the poor state of sea ice after this winter. Looks like we won't be getting any more data for Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume for a while from PIOMAS. See: psc.apl.uw.edu/research/pro...
Screenshot of text that says: "Important Notice (3/24/2026): NOAA NWS/NCEP has terminated the NCEP/NCAR R1 reanalysis as of March 18th, 2026. NCEP/NCAR R1 has been used as the atmospheric forcing data in the PIOMAS reanalysis . We had not been aware of this change in service which was apparently formally announced Feb 13. 2026. This means that we will have to find alternatives and generate a replacement. It will take considerable effort and time to update data streams, re-calibrate the model and generate updated time series. We don’t yet have a good sense if that’s possible with available funds and if so, when we will be able to resume production of a new PIOMAS time series. While a replacement of the NCAR/NCEP R1 as the forcing product makes ultimate sense, we would have wished for a longer time period to facilitate the transition. We are sorry what this means to our many users. PIOMAS has been in production since March 2010 and we rarely missed updates by more than a couple of weeks (except for government shutdowns). This will be longer. Check back here for updates! "

Sea ice extent in the Chukcki Sea, northwest of Alaska, continues to very slowly decrease in NSIDC data. Forecast winds during the upcoming week are not conducive to very much more decline, so the 2025 minimum extent will not be in the ten lowest of past 47 years. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce
