Mid-March update on sea ice now posted in the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter. The Bering Sea has lots of ice but that's the only region running above normal. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce #Climate @climatologist49.bsky.social

Antarctic #seaice coverage has likely rebounded this year, coming closer to its annual summer average after four years of extreme lows, US scientists said Monday. #Antarctica #Climate

With sustained north winds and low temperatures, sea ice extent in the Bering Sea has increased by more than 50 percent in the past two weeks in NSIDC data. Extent is now the highest in March since 2014 (briefly higher in Feb 2022). Extent will increase some more in days ahead. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Graph showing the Antarctic Sea Ice Extent daily value for each year since 1978 (each year is represented with a curve of a different color)
In february 2026, the #SeaIce global extent was 5% below 1991-2020 mean. Since the beginning of records (1978):
- #Arctic, 3rd lowest monthly mean, with 5% less extent (-712,597km²)
- #Antarctic, 26th lowest monthly mean, with 3% less exent (-105,212km²)

Sea ice rapidly expanding in the Bering Sea past several days with very low temperatures and sustained north winds east of the date line. Big swings in ice extent area in the Bering are not unusual this time of year. Data courtesy NSIDC. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce
However, many other datasets might underestimate #warming despite using HadISST2 since they often don’t account for climatological differences between #seaice and open sea. This issue is discussed in section 3 of the paper as well as in my 2024 paper (doi.org/10.1002/qj.4...).
The 1929-1939 climatology was designed to be conservative to warn sailors of potential #seaice danger rather than to be representative of average #seaice conditions. This is relevant since almost all global instrumental temperature datasets since 1850 rely on HadISST2. doi.org/10.14430/arc...
Regarding a recent community science paper on 1.5°C of #globalwarming (doi.org/10.5194/essd...), the graph I like the most shows #seaice extent anomalies for different datasets and reconstructions. The most striking feature is HadISST2 disagreement with Antarctic reconstructions.

#poland: The Baltic Sea has seen a significant loss of water this winter, with the overall level reaching a new record low. At the beginning of February, the Baltic was down over 26 inches (67 cm) over the last 140 years.

Sea ice extent in the Bering Sea has decreased 20 percent in the past two weeks due to frequent storminess/south winds. Dramatic weather pattern change is imminent with colder air & north winds poised to return, so it's quite possible the maximum extent is yet to be reached. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce
