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...

It's a peculiar summer (year) in the #Arctic. This is one of the largest contrasts in sea ice conditions that I can remember seeing between the Atlantic (near record low) and Pacific sides (highest in decades) + Concentration = fraction of sea ice + Another July view at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Last month was the 5th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of July. This was 950,000 km² below the 1981-2010 July average. Data from the @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

The Formation and Movement of Nilas Ice in the Baltic Sea
Jan Erik Waider's drone footage captures the unique behavior of nilas ice, a thin, elastic layer forming on the Baltic Sea's surface. This ice, which bends with waves rather than resisting them, creates dynamic patterns as cracks open and close with each wave motion. The article explains that nilas ice, up to ten centimeters thick, is a natural phenomenon resulting from weeks of cold temperatures. Waider's work highlights the meditative beauty of these remote environments, where ice movement appears almost alive. The footage, shot near Rügen Island, demonstrates how simple conditions—cold weather and a downward-facing camera—can reveal intricate natural processes. The piece emphasizes the scientific and aesthetic value of observing such phenomena, offering a calm perspective on the interplay between water, ice, and climate. This observation contributes to broader discussions about marine ecosystems and climate change impacts on polar regions.

Stratospheric polar vortex shapes Arctic surface climate via a radiative pathway - Nature Communications
This study discusses a stratosphere-to-surface radiative pathway in the Arctic, whereby stratospheric anomalies modulate high cloud cover through static stability, driving pronounced surface temperatu...
