O-buoy #7 is shown on the overview but doesn't seem to be sending any information apart from a fuzzy image.

I fear O-buoy #7 gave up the ghost long ago. If you compare the still with the video it looks like the fuzzy image dates from last autumn/fall. If 9 and 10 start transmitting non-fuzzy images look for them over at:

ITP- 74 is the only ITP WHOI buoy in the central arctic and ITP68 and ITP70 are all there are for the Beaufort. 69 is having motor troubles and 77 ? doesn't look right either. More buoys are still sending  surface temperatures but the temperature / salinity contours are limited to the three above.

Don't forget the mass balance buoys Bruce:

Snow and ice thickness are being recorded for posterity as well, along with temperature in and under the ice

Thanks Jim, I try to watch the water column. Interest in Pacific halocline and also interesting to watch for potential upwelling as the buoy's drift over the ridges or shelf breaks. Mostly just watch. Here is an paper from 2004 on various Pacific halocline species , sources and locations.I don't think the author is related.

A new season of north pole webcam watching is almost upon us. I did a quick test and changed 2013 to 2014 on last year's URL and found things are ready to go. I'm pleased to see there is an added webcam3 this year as well.

Looks like the webcams have been tested outside and ready to go to Barneo camp...

The newly placed 2014D buoy is heading for the Fram at a good clip so far. We'll see how long it takes to get there.

http://imb.crrel.usace.army.mil/2014D.htm

From the data I compute about 58km since the first position recorded on April 2, an average rate of about 3.1 km/day or 3.6 cm/sec.

Barneo on fire?

According to the Barneo journal entry yesterday:

Barneo Base has finished. The team started to curtail the camp.

No mention of any fires though!

I wonder what the deal is with NPEO webcam #3 is. There is an archive for webcam #3 and the files get their update date/times changed everyday but the actual photos don't change from their April 14th shots.

The label embedded in the photo claims to be webcam #3. I wonder if they don't realize the actually photos aren't updating just the update time stamps.

The French team returned to Longyearbyen having deployed their buoy monitored by Webcam#2.  They took Webcam#3 with them, hoping to resolve a focus problem and send it back out to Barneo.

It looks like it never made it back to Barneo

Is that a melt pond right in front of the camera, this early in the season?

I wonder if it's merely a mark on the camera lens. It became "frosted up" again after clearing on the 4th, for example. The dark patch seems to be shrinking somewhat as the day progresses.

Webcam 1 showing a respectable lead opening up. Looks like there is refreezing happening in the lead. Here are two images 12 hours apart. It looks like the webcam buoys have drifted 1/3 of the way from the pole to the Fram.

I was wondering the same thing myself, Silkman.  The only other possibility I considered is that another lead opened up behind the cam and a slab of ice tipped the cam... :o

Webcam 1 has regular updates of the time stamp, but the clouds are as drozen as the ice. This part of the pole wil not met this year.

The clouds are as frozen as the ice. This part of the pole will not met this year.

If they really are "clouds", they are changing slightly from one image to the next. Of course by now the cameras are nowhere near the North Pole!

I would say footprints (polar bear most likely  :) ) and definitely looks like open water especially on today's image just coming in - nice and sunny too.  Webcam #1 on its side http://psc.apl.washington.edu/northpole/NPEO2014/9.jpg , while not as interesting, gives a good view of melting ice.

Judging by the water visible on the upper right, I suspect drilling may be unnecessary.

Looking at the last 20 images from NPEO webcam 2 today it seems as if there is a fast flow of ice through the large lead visible in the top right of the images.

I don't know if this is a visual illusion or if there really is flow. Seems to me as if the ice on either side of the lead get closer and farther apart but stay somewhat in sync while bits of ice flow between them.

All while the snow around the buoy doesn't melt.

Hit end to jump to the latest images.
I control-click each of the last 20 images to open them in new browser tabs then use control-tab to run through them like a flip-book animation.

Looks like it is rather toasty around buoy 2012G, almost hit 10°C it appears from the temperature graph.

JayW, it fits into the 'heatwave' that will last up to next Sunday in the Western Archipelago.
2012G seems to be as far North as Borden Island, big lead filled with rubble opening up there, right into the CAB.
Almost +10dC might be a bit unlikely though. Climate Reanalyzer has lower temps over the ice; about +1-+3.
Nevertheless, the channels are taking a beating. Mould Bay, Pr. Patrick Island, has several days on +5-+7, Melville Island will go over +10dC.
Wonder if Pr. of Wales Strait (Banks-Victoria) will start breaking up soon.

Despite the recent high air temperatures it looks like there's still at least 40 cm of snow in the area at the moment:

http://GreatWhiteCon.info/resources/ice-mass-balance-buoys/summer-2014-imbs/#2012G

Most of the sensors on 2012G have failed, so unfortunately it's a bit hard to be precise!

If you compare the latest O-buoy 10 image with the last frame in the O-buoy 10 movie (from June 6), the melt becomes pretty apparent. The ponds can't be to far away unless the weather turns radically.

I think they're already there... they don't jump out in the cloud-diffused light. But when the graph is 'enhanced', they show to the under-left corner and to the mid right.
Given sunlight, they'll show.

ITP WHOI  79.    6.67 C
ITP WHOI  78.    6.15 C
ITP WHOI. 77.    5.8   C

These three buoys are about three hundred miles north of land.  I can't retrieve data from earlier in the week but from my  memory  ITP 79  June 22 ~ 7 C, June 23 ~ 9C, Yesterday 11.56 C and today 6.67C.   I think the sensors are working fine.

Those buoys are part this year's Marginal Ice Zone program in the Beaufort. Much more information, including historical temperatures, can be seen at:

http://GreatWhiteCon.info/resources/ice-mass-balance-buoys/summer-2014-imbs/#MIZ

You will note that the temperatures quoted come from AWS buoys, which don't seem to show such high readings as the ITPs. Here's the readings from the cluster including ITP 79:

Jim, if I am counting correctly the cluster 4 temperature graph is through the 22nd so I will be interested to see if the high ITP temps show up in a couple days?

It seems to me that the ITP buoys give buoy temperatures rather than air temperatures. With machinery operating the profiler, it would not be surprising to find higher onboard temperature.

O-buoy 9 is very near the pole and it is chilly there but not super cold.  No snow should be melting there though http://obuoy.datatransport.org/monitor#buoy9/weather

O-buoy 10 is halfway between the pole and alaska and it is not warm there either, hovering about 0.  http://obuoy.datatransport.org/monitor#buoy10/weather

So yes, I concur, those temp readings do not look like air temp readings.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Obuoy 10 has clear images again. The snow looks wet to me, the warmer temperatures of recent days have had an effect. What is interesting in the light of recent discussions on  other threads is that the foggy days of 23.,24.,25. June have had higher temperature averages than clear days which show a drop in temperature at low sun elevation. At a latitude of less than 77deg there is a daily cycle which the more northerly buoy 9 does not show.

In spite of snow drifts some bottom melt and major snow melt.

This is form Obuioy10.  The image above.  Drifted snow shows a massive decline.  There obviously isn't this much snow all over the region.  In fact cryosat/ice bridge put the average snow depth before summer melt started way below this.

Notice how wind direction, wind speed and relative humidity changes just around the temperature spike at O-buoy 10. Coincidence? I think not. My bet is that those readings are legit.

A pool has formed next to the buoy in the last 24 hrs and the snow level has receded on the measuring stick nearby, the next black stripe has started to show.  So there's surface melting at 85ºN.
