Sea ice data updated daily with one-day lag

Sea ice data updated daily with one-day lag
The sea ice extent has been quickly growing, and by the end of October, ice covered most of the Arctic Ocean. Overall, the ice extent remained below average for this time of year in the Barents and Kara Seas, as well as within northern Baffin Bay and the East Greenland Sea. Overview of conditions Figure 1. Arctic sea ice extent for October 2021 was 6.77 million square kilometers (2.61 million square miles). The magenta line shows the 1981 to 2010 average extent for that month.

Current State of Sea Ice Cover | Earth J. C. Comiso, C. L. Parkinson, T. Markus, D. The sea ice cover is one of the key components of the polar climate system.

SOTC: Introduction NSIDC's State of the Cryosphere provides an overview of the status of snow, ice, and permafrost as indicators of climate change. This site provides time-series data for Northern Hemisphere snow cover, mountain glacier fluctuations, sea ice extent and concentration, changes in ice shelves, and global sea level. It also provides a snapshot of current permafrost conditions.

Lifestyle changes may combat a dementia that strikes people in their 40s and 50s The first symptom is likely a loss of interest in life and the well-being of others. A person might ignore their spouse or children's feelings, get uncharacteristically frustrated and say or do inappropriate things -- such as laugh at a funeral. Even worse, they'll likely have no idea they have changed. "It's a pretty devastating disease that impacts people in the prime of their lives," said neurologist Kaitlin Casaletto, an assistant professor in the Memory and Aging Center at the University of California, San Francisco. Science has struggled to provide interventions to help these patients. Casaletto and her colleagues followed the activity levels of 105 people with the inherited form of the disease, the first study to do so in this population. "This is an extremely important study providing the strongest evidence yet that lifestyle factors can positively impact brain health, not only for Alzheimer's disease, but frontotemporal lobar dementia as well," said neurologist Dr.

Ryan Maue PhD Meteorology Post by Dr. Ryan N. Maue Dr. Judith Curry is quoted in a classic Seth Borenstein AP screed connecting disparate extreme weather events into a tidy AGW-narrative: “Sometimes it seems as if we have weather amnesia.” …Judith Curry of Georgia Tech disagreed, saying that while humans are changing the climate, these extremes have happened before, pointing to the 1950s… she is correct but just who/what is she disagreeing with? The AP article sets up the typical “arguing amongst experts” debate where the non-expert journalist assembles the narrative. The AP article begins: “Nature is pummelling the United States this year with extremes. Of course we know that natural disasters occur globally, and are often modulated by the El Niño Southern Oscillation (e.g. Dr. I’m sure Masters is tired of the website hits and advertising revenue, but this statement is not scientific but anecdotal. The AP article continues: “What’s happening, say experts, is mostly random chance or bad luck. Who says what? Dr. Dr.

On temperature and CO2 in the past Posted on 29 May 2010 by Riccardo Guest post by Riccardo One of the most famous paleoclimate graphs for "amateur climatologists" like me is the Vostok ice core reconstructions of temperature and CO2 concentration over the last 420 kyr. It shows how nicely the two follow each other and that our climate has overall "oscillated" within two relatively well defined limits. One may wish to look at this correlation a little better. So let's take the Dome C ice core data which cover 800 Kyrs and plot temperature versus CO2 concentration. Fig. 1: Dome C temperature and CO2 concentration data (dots) with the best fit line (red line). This graph shows how our climate system behaves naturally. This concept is made explicit in a recent paper (Etkin 2010) where the author makes a state-space (or phase-space) analysis of ice cores and recent instrumental measurements. Fig. 2: State-space plot of the Vostok, EPICA and Law Dome ice core data and Mauna Loa direct measurements.

World Glacier Monitoring Service For more than a century, the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) and its predecessor organizations have been compiling and disseminating standardized data on glacier fluctuations. Thereto, the WGMS annually collects glacier data through its scientific collaboration network that is active in more than 30 countries. More... In close collaboration with the U.S. photo: participants of the WGMS General Assembly 2010 (by F. Alzheimer's Found To Be Mostly Genetic: Largest Twin Study Ever Undertaken Confirms Highest Estimates Of Genetic Risk -- ScienceDaily Alzheimer disease has a genetic cause in up to 80 percent of cases, according to a University of Southern California- led study of nearly 12,000 twin pairs. The study appears in the February 2006 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, a journal of the American Medical Association. Margaret Gatz, professor of psychology in the USC College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, led an international team of researchers from Göteborg University, Jönköping University and Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, as well as from USC, the University of California at Riverside and the University of South Florida. Past estimates of Alzheimer's risk varied widely, with the highest numbers sometimes greeted with skepticism. "Our finding confirms the higher estimates that have been suggested previously. The study raises doubts about the widely held view that Alzheimer's has two forms: the "familial," with genetic roots, and the "sporadic," with environmental causes.

Linea Meteo Latest GRACE data on Greenland ice mass Posted on 28 May 2010 by John Cook I don't plan to fall into the trap of breathlessly reporting every twist and turn of short-term climate fluctuations (I went through a bit of a silly period in March and April 2008). But we've been discussing Greenland trends and as it's been over a year since posting GRACE data on Greenland ice mass so I figure we're due an update. Figure 1: Greenland ice mass anomaly (black). This graph includes 12 months more data than Velicogna 2009 and shows the rate of ice mass loss is still increasing. Figure 2: Rate of ice loss from Greenland. What we find is over a longer time period, Greenland was in approximate mass balance in the early 1990s.
