Arctic sea ice / Re: The 2019 melting season
« on: June 14, 2019, 10:38:39 AM »The forecast is brutal for a large part of the Arctic but as some of us long-term watchers of this no the Western Canadian basin is the Goldilocks area without the Western Canadian basin being decimated you cannot get a new record low.
We could see a cop 3 season without the Western Canadian basin getting decimated but we're not going to be 2012 unless there was a pattern change in the weather that brings sunlight and warm air off the Canadian land mass into the Western Canadian basin to cripple that multi-year ice right now no matter how windy it is there's a cold air in clouds.
Yes that massive high pressure is bringing heat to the CAA.
but that's still not going to be enough for a new record unless we see a pattern change soon.
And as it stands the weather looks pretty stubborn on keeping the Russian in Pacific side getting smoked by the Canadian side is protected.
this will bring for a spectacle but it will not bring a new record low if it doesn't change
There is one more way for new record low - in 10-20 years it will be possible even without proper weather pattern.
