It was another October with huge temperature departures across the Siberian side of the #Arctic Ocean. This also corresponded with lower sea ice cover in these margins. As the freeze-up occurs, much of the stored heat gets transferred into the overlying atmosphere. Data from

ERA5 monthly averaged data on single levels from 1940 to present

ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF reanalysis for the global climate and weather for the past 8 decades. Data is available from 1940 onwards. ERA5 replaces the ERA-Interim reanalysis. Reanalysis combines model data with observations from across the world into a globally complete and consistent dataset using the laws of physics. This principle, called data assimilation, is based on the method used by numerical weather prediction centres, where every so many hours (12 hours at ECMWF) a previous fo

Have a great weekend! Here's your Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 5th lowest on record (JAXA data)... • about 460,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,240,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 1,860,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,140,000 km² below the 1980s mean More graphics:

#Arctic While roots can help lock carbon into soils by supporting plant growth and contributing organic matter, they can also stimulate microbes that break down soil carbon and release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane https://phys.org/news/2026-11-arctic-roots-play-key-role.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Arctic plant roots may play key role in climate change

A new review involving researchers at Umeå University has revealed the critical role that plant roots play in shaping how Arctic tundra ecosystems respond to climate change. The paper, recently published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, highlights how processes occurring beneath the soil surface could help scientists better understand how one of the fastest-changing ecosystems on Earth will influence the future climate.

#Arctic Arctic winter sea ice could disappear much faster than scientists previously expected, according to new research using climate clues from 6,000 years ago. By comparing ancient ocean sediments with modern climate models, researchers found that future winter ice coverage may be roughly one million square kilometers smaller than earlier predictions suggested https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261022081259.htm #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Loss of a rare lake reveals how warming has hit the Canadian Arctic’s ‘planetary fridge’ https://news.mongabay.com/2026/10/loss-of-a-rare-lake-reveals-how-warming-has-hit-the-canadian-arctics-planetary-fridge/ #Canada #Arctic #environment #lake

Loss of a rare lake reveals how warming has hit the Canadian Arctic’s ‘planetary fridge’

When an ice shelf blocks a polar fjord, it sparks the creation of an ecosystem like no other: the epishelf lake. Meltwater pools up behind the ice shelf, floating above the denser seawater, with both freshwater and marine species found in distinct layers within the same water column. But Canada’s last known epishelf lake, at […]

#News: Musician Yann Tiersen is fighting the "colonisation" of our planet! ⛵. by🎶 avoiding #flights and using his sailboat, he toured the melting glaciers of the #Arctic to record an album that serves as a "soundtrack for #Climate protest" against destructive #capitalism and #climatechange.🌍✊ #ClimateActionNow #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetectives@mastodonapp.uk

Check this out! These maps show temperature anomalies averaged by decade in the #Arctic for the month of October. This month is one of the fast warming for Arctic amplification trends. Heat is being transferred back into the overlying atmosphere from newly open water. Data:

October has observed some of the largest warming trends in the #Arctic (satellite-era). This is greatest over areas with a lack of sea ice cover (nearly all of the Siberian Arctic). Arctic amplification is largest in the boreal fall. Data: https://doi.org/10.24381/cds.f17050d7 Info: https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-26-0123.1

Another season of tracking freezing degree days in the high #Arctic has ended. This is a simple measure of relative cold integrated with time. This past year was quite anomalous again, consistent with a rapidly warming Arctic system. ☑️ Follow temperatures along daily at:
