New paper by Preece et al. shows that the increase in high pressure over #Greenland in summer that has accelerated #IceSheet melt is favored by diminished North American #snowcover via a stationary Rossby wave. @TLMote @judah47 @DrKnoxUGA @GKooperman nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Great article @JournalPolar with @climate_ice on the atmospheric rivers, heatwaves, rainfall and resulting record ice sheet melt in Greenland that we discussed in detail in the @CopernicusECMWF #ESOTC European State of the Climate 2022☀️💧🧊

Check out our paper on processes driving extreme melt events in northeast Greenland! @TurtonJ1990 @JonathanWille @BricepyNoel @xavierfettweis @akr4sci @TLMote
New paper by @ksmattingly et al. shows that extreme #icesheet #melt events in northeast #Greenland occur after #AtmosphericRivers, as the #foehn effect results to warmer and drier air descending the ice sheet slope. @UWSSEC nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

2020 saw the Greenland Ice Sheet melting fast and global sea level rise speeding up to 4.8mm/year thanks to that melting on top of other climate change driven factors. Concern growing about the Antarctic Ice Sheet too. Gunna cost BIG time. sciencemag.org/news/2020/11/…

Our @esa polar-orbiting satellites forbode an Antarctic mass loss trajectory which today drives a worst-case sea-level rise scenario. For the latest forecasts see: go.nature.com/2RQ44Ef 2016, 2018, 2020,... are the messages "sinking in"?

Such a tremendous loss for the polar community.

The Arctic climate records set during the past few months have been astonishing, from wildfires in Siberia and 100F temps to glaciers erupting with meltwater in Svalbard, Norway. A tour across the Far North reveals how much is askew. washingtonpost.com/weather/2…

#Drought Monitor update June 23, 2020. This week saw a slight reduction in D0 coverage on the western coast but also an expansion of moderate drought (D1) to the southeast coast. caribbeanclimatehub.org/reso… #PuertoRico

A new tropical storm Dolly at nearly 40N latitude and the ‘Godzilla’ Saharan dust cloud to its south. A strange start this June to the Atlantic hurricane season.
#Dolly has formed in the North Atlantic - the 3rd earliest 4th Atlantic named storm formation on record (since 1851). Danielle is earliest on 6/20/2016. Debby is 2nd earliest on 6/23/2012 at 12 UTC. Dolly in 2020 formed on June 23 at 1615 UTC. #hurricane
