Warnings are out again today for heavy storms for the same areas the 'DANA' system flooded yesterday!

So Larry is now a 'cane and set to become a major by sometime Saturday? I think we'd better keep our eyes on Him esp. seeing Spain N.Y. right now!!!

Remember the Climate change deniers, back in 2012 (?) when we saw the first 'melt' at summit telling us that it was a 160 yr 'cycle' of melt over the summit?....this was now the number 3 instance of the last decade......I wonder what they would say today?

Is Henry being a bit naughty with its 'track'? Reading NY might be in line for a visit? -
I take it the German (and others) flooding will see the same 'rapid attribution' of the events there?
-
I can confirm that! So horrible seeing others suffer as we have but the death toll is shocking! at least our events didn't include that awful side of things? 'Things' can be replaced!

Just a reminder that we have 'permafrost' that holds a lot of GHG's across this region...... Arctic Circle land temperature reaches 48C during ‘persistent heatwave’ in Siberia WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK It comes month after scientists called temperatures in region ‘mind-boggling’

Ice losses over the weekend seem to have picked up momentum have they not? There's some horrible looking ice in the basin a.t.m. & either heat or tumbling of the ice via a nasty low will cause us major losses from here on in

We've been treated to what 'average seasons' now leave the pack like come Sept but what of the 'rogue' years like 07' /12'? I worry that most years we are only 3 or 4 weeks away from melt out by the time refreeze begins. Pump in that energy over a freak year and the ice will just go (probably in late Aug?) Since 2012 the continued degradation of Arctic ice has not halted. The floes are small and faster to form, the percentage of ice that is 1st year ice continues to increase (weakest ice) whilst older ice fails. We lost the last 'paleo cryogenic' ice in 2010 so how much 10 year old ice now sits in the basin?, 9 year old ice?, 5 year old ice even???

Agreed BFTV! Back in the late noughties I began noting the seasonal stress on the ice at Spring tides, I was assured it was a normal occurrence. This 'denaturing' of the pack , early doors, means that the ice 'gluing' the floes back together is very weak and fails quickly once melt pressures arise. We then get mechanical weathering of the floes as the crash into one another chipping off edges/further shattering floes Small floes move much faster than large floes This year it is not the 1st year ice giving way but the old ice to the N of Greenland and the CAB directly (our best ice?) I do not like it Sam I am, I do not like this drift and scram!
-
I know it's very early doors but I'm already not liking what I'm seeing in the Arctic? We've all seen the animations of seasonal ice loss and just how much Fram takes out of the basin This year we seem to be shipping 'good ice' at quite a rate so stretching the ice from the feed areas (CAB/N.Greenland?) Will this lead us to a more vulnerable pack in these 'feed regions' allowing more open water, earlier on in the summer, across the areas that normally hold onto our best ice over summer?
-
I take it that the Barrentsz gains are losses in the making BFTV?

I seem to recall that when the polar night jet becomes misshapen (or bi-lobal/tri -lobal?) sections can find themselves in sunlight as the lobes loop over lower latitudes so meeting the returning spring sun up at their altitudes? I think Feb 2014 saw a sizable hole over the UK (IIRC?)
