2017 A reports 21 cm of surface melt, almost entirely during last week, and about 19 cm of bottom melt. Almost 40 cm gone in 10 days!, the ice is now 79 cm, thinner than at deployment. At this rate the ice surrounding the buoy wont see August.
Unfortunately, currently away, cannot do the profile animations, for a nice while. :-(
Edit, interesting to observe the rate of surface melting during this week, this buoy has been literally "under the weather" in Chukchi sea, not the 24/7 sunny skies one could associate with accelerated melt, but humid warm winds with clouds and rain.
