As of July 22, Antarctic sea ice extent is now six standard deviations below the 1991-2020 mean.
To put this in perspective, without a changing climate the odds of this would be about 1-in-1 billion.

At @IocUnesco 32ndAssembly @WMO reiterates its engagement on @GOOSocean, with a strong financial support to its operational centre @OceanOPS and stands ready to support GOOS governance and resources evolution requested by many member states
GCOS presents its Implementation Plan at #COP27: 11 November 2022, 12:15 – 13:15 (UTC+2). In person: WMO-IPCC-MERI Pavilion, COP27 - Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Follow online: https://t.co/MlY8raKDUY

Both @GOOSocean co-chairs and @WMO’s @ReaManta at the @CanadaFP Pavilion at #COP27: “We cannot mitigate what we cannot measure”-90% of ocean carbon is deep blue carbon. #OceanObs need coordinated International investment, like nations united for the Int’l Space Station. @gcos_un
Our final speaker for our event this morning is @ReaManta from the @WMO:
“You may be wondering what a weather guy is doing on an ocean panel. We can’t focus our observations only on the areas of low uncertainty in the atmosphere to understand the evolution of the climate.” 🌊
"You may be wondering what a weather guy is doing on an ocean panel" - @ReaManta@WMO at the #BlueCarbon side event.
@WMO needs an integrated greenhouse gas monitoring system - ocean carbon included.
"If you care about atmospheric carbon - and climate change - then you need to know about deep ocean carbon" - GOOS Co-Chair @TosteTanhua at the #BlueCarbon side event.
The ocean holds 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere! #COP27
And that’s a wrap! Thank you to @bernardjdavis@TosteTanhua & @ReaManta for an engaging conversation on deep blue carbon.
The ocean controls our climate, but we can’t mitigate what we can’t measure. Our work toward an integrated ocean observing system is just beginning. #COP27
