looking at the cloudy sky in seattle. Blue orange lights without apparent source. Sure doesn’t look like the Aurora. puzzled

@HeppieBerrie @ZLabe give this a try tc.copernicus.org/articles/9/179…

@ZLabe So...this article basically suggests methods for uncertainties. But I'm looking for the calibration and measurement uncertainties of the different satellites used for arctic sea ice.

Science is hard. Good research makes you feel stupid. You're inadequate for the task at hand. How else would it be? You're pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Get used to it. This process is immensely rewarding.

With the war in Ukraine, Western nations have stopped collaborating with Russia on Arctic research. The loss of cooperation comes at a perilous moment for the Arctic, which faces shrinking sea ice, melting permafrost, and the growth of shipping. e360.yale.edu/features/russi…

@PeterGleick Give Station 11 a try instead. Horse drawn Pickuo trucks, bows and arrows, knives.

Their analysis actually hints at this: in 2017 both the residence time and the variance of sea ice thickness in Fram Strait increased, showing at least “recovery potential”

While it is true that under the current climate the thickest sea ice isn’t likely going to reappear, that is different from a “tipping point” (and no, melting sea ice doesn't contribute to sea level rise)
