Yeah, very cool indeed. It's from NASA Worldview, Kevin.

It's amazing what you can see via satellite. We found the Oden via Sentinel. JayW recently spotted the Polarstern lights via RAMMB-SLIDER with the JPSS satellite.

You would be able to see the lab in the RAMMB, but they haven't updated the day night band, nor the geocolor since the day we located Polarstern. Weird, as its the only bands not updating...

Here's a movie of things chugging down Nares.

It's too bad that the "low light" band from the VIIRS satellites seems to be suffering some issues. It appears to pick up the lights from PS.

Now that polar night is descending on the arctic, it's time to switch to band I04, shortwave IR discerns temperature. I inverted the colors and enhanced the contrast, I think it will make for a good substitute for visible bands. I find the low light band has issues with some form of "glare".

This is the area north of Svalbard at roughly 82.5°N,10°E, that has been discussed before, that "swirl" still evident. The gif is short, fighting the clouds

Arctic sea ice / Re: The 2019 melting season

« on: August 26, 2019, 12:31:05 PM »

Quote from: binntho on August 26, 2019, 07:14:29 AM

It seems to me that the stall these last few weeks compared to 2012 is mostly due to dispersion. Late August 2012 saw the inner ice a lot more compacted, especially towards the Pacific side.

Dispersion obviously causes higher extent, but then area seems to be stalling as well. But how reliable are the area measurements, particularly with highly dispersed ice under cloudy skies? I don't know.

But it does seem to me that a good "compaction event" on the Pacific side could lose several 100 k's without any extra melt.

And that leads me to wonder if the difference between 2012 and now lies not so much in how much ice has melted as in how it is distributed - admittedly, 2012 had less ice, but the difference probably wasn't nowhere as big as the current extent numbers indicate.

I agree.

Sure seems like it reacts quickly to winds, and it's marching towards the Atlantic, as it has for the most part.

Speaking of winds, they have turned southerly over the Laptev and points north, and should persist for some time.

The RAMMB slider is awesome. The public access is total.
I wish all science was like this.

I can't see you finding anything like slider anywhere else. Three satelliites in geostationary orbit giving you everything all the time.

I agree with everything you said, and appreciate it. I just wanted to clarify that the orbits are actually sun-synchronous. Each satellite makes 14 passes a day, taking roughly 102 minutes to complete an orbit. The ~3,000km wide field of view allows each pass to image from roughly 68° to 5° on the far side of the pole, spanning 28°. So above 85° is imaged every pass.
I believe that the slider actually only incorporates two of them, SUOMI and JPSS-1, which orbit opposite each other, giving us 51 minute intervals. SUOMI is actually beyond its planned 5 year expected lifespan, but more of these satellites are planned over the next decade.

Yep, that one is still making it's daily appearance as well. I misspoke when I initially posted that one and said it was at 80°N , 5°E, I had the latitude line confused on the slider, it's actually 82.5°N, 5°E.

Wind/ cloud effects..

It's a 78 hour loop I posted, and the feature recurs at the same spot, at almost the same time 4 days in a row. That's why I believe it to be related to the tides, the one north of Svalbard also shows a daily rhythm. I don't see how the clouds and winds would be exactly the same 4 days in a row. It actually was there the day before that loop as well.

It was also there in mid July, I think the higher tides surrounding the full/new moons enhances it.

Continuation from the gif in post #150.

I believe the resolution is about 375m /pixel. I'd say the front moved about 70 pixels, equaling roughly 26km, over the 13.5 hour animation, so about 2km/hour is my guess. Does it plow straight through? Make a hard left? Or stop in its tracks?. Won't know till tomorrow, and even then, who knows if it'll be clear.

I think it might be both winds and melt water pushing in. To me, it looks like you can see sediment rich water moving west through the channel.
Well the problem with meltwater is that I'm not at all sure that there could be enough of it to cause such a strong movement in a (presumably) deep fjord. But you are right, there is discoloration that follows the ice retreat, possibly just reflecting a change in temperature?

Meltwater would be brown, but the discoloration seems more bluish. Perhaps an extremly rapid spread of algae? I don't know.
Quote
Here is an interesting feature at about 80°N, 5°W.
Very interesting, with those circular movements. Is it the wind doing that, or ocean currents? This Rammb slider thing is really showing us details that I for one didn't know existed.

I don't believe high resolution hourly imagery has been available until they added it to the slider.

I thought of Peyto lake in Canada, and just thought it was fine sediment similar to that.

The swirl at 80°N,5°W looks oceanic to me, as it has appeared the last week or so in the same location at thr same time. I can't tell how long is been there, as it was too cloudy to see before the 21st.

Appreciate your interest binntho, as b_lumenkraft mentioned there are likely several/many factors at play. I'm certainly no expert, but the the counter clockwise motion to me suggests there is some upwelling. I'm basing this on how the atmosphere works, low pressure is associated with rising air.
With so little open water, wind stresses seem to be minimal, but perhaps a southerly flow over the land masses of the CAA *could* result in modest coastal upwelling.
The most mysterious question to me, is whether these exist under the ice, or do they form only due to the opening. I haven't a clue. It'll be interesting to see how they behave going forward.
I think features like this emphasize the value of these sub daily images available from RAMMB, and am grateful that others, especially b_lumenkraft, have also taken an interest.

As mentioned in the RAMMB slider thread, under clear skies, the shortwave IR bands I4, M12, and M13 are sensitive to surface temperatures and have the ability to detect sea surface temperatures.

Attached is a 32 hour loop (June 23, 16Z to 25, 4Z) of the Laptev, with discharge from the Lena river seen spreading from the lower left corner.

Band I4 with band M13 50% overlay, this helps hide the clouds somewhat. Contrast enhanced and lightened for detail.

Included is a 20 hour loop showing the impressive ridge. As energy rotates around it, it will go through several anticyclonic wave breaks (evident already). These often give numerical models difficulty. As they "break" they generally result in a cyclone downstream, in this case the Beaufort/CAA region. Again, very hard to predict, and should give anyone pause about buying model runs beyond hour 120, and temper expectations. Just my two cents. I'll go back to simple observations of interesting features.

The shortwave IR bands M12 and I4 are sensitive to sea surface temperatures. I had to boost the contrast and "lightness" in ezgif for better detail, I lack the processing skills others her have. Sorry the shot land masses are a bit distracting. Lighter is warmer. Some frames weren't available, so there's a bit of a jump in there.

Bering Strait, needs a click.

East Siberia.

Looks like the fast ice cracked here from the weight of the inland freshwater sitting on it.

I don't think the river is flowing onto the ice, I think it's completely melting it into open water, as the severed ice appears to be moving around freely. More cracks are forming, feels like the ESS will really deteriorate very soon.

P.S. does anyone know the meaning of the LIGHT blue line in the Slater graph? I have already asked previously in the 'stupid questions' thread and nobody answered there.

I'd love to be corrected if wrong, but my understanding is that the light blue line treats the ice anomaly as a whole, whereas Slater looks at each grid cell independently. But I could be misunderstanding.

Unrelated, here is the last week in the Beaufort blender.
