New paper by Preece et al. shows that the increase in high pressure over #Greenland in summer that has accelerated #IceSheet melt is favored by diminished North American #snowcover via a stationary Rossby wave. @TLMote @judah47 @DrKnoxUGA @GKooperman https://t.co/0YlnxCUY13

Great article @JournalPolar with @climate_ice on the atmospheric rivers, heatwaves, rainfall and resulting record ice sheet melt in Greenland that we discussed in detail in the @CopernicusECMWF #ESOTC European State of the Climate 2022☀️💧🧊

Interesting event and also a symptom of big changes https://t.co/hE2KS8xFiG

@geo_knitter So sorry to hear this and have many good memories of Bill Dando from UND. Condolences to you and your family.

[Jonathan Overpeck @GreatLakesPeck]

2020 saw the Greenland Ice Sheet melting fast and global sea level rise speeding up to 4.8mm/year thanks to that melting on top of other climate change driven factors. Concern growing about the Antarctic Ice Sheet too. Gunna cost BIG time. https://t.co/VHskppAOfT

Our @esa polar-orbiting satellites forbode an Antarctic mass loss trajectory which today drives a worst-case sea-level rise scenario. For the latest forecasts see: https://t.co/X90o8iicCX

2016, 2018, 2020,... are the messages "sinking in"?

Some new work on Greenland that included my lab. "New research reveals effect of global warming on Greenland ice melt" https://t.co/YdnWpYGwRR

Such a tremendous loss for the polar community.

[Andrew Freedman @afreedma]

The Arctic climate records set during the past few months have been astonishing, from wildfires in Siberia and 100F temps to glaciers erupting with meltwater in Svalbard, Norway. A tour across the Far North reveals how much is askew. https://t.co/TMtgnBftja

[julienne stroeve @JulienneStroeve]

Arctic sea ice extent has taken a nose dive in recent days, with the Laptev and East Siberian reaching the least amount of ice recorded yet in the satellite data record. https://t.co/EoiTzAA5vq

#Drought Monitor update June 23, 2020. This week saw a slight reduction in D0 coverage on the western coast but also an expansion of moderate drought (D1) to the southeast coast. https://t.co/q1aphaLBVe #PuertoRico

A new tropical storm Dolly at nearly 40N latitude and the ‘Godzilla’ Saharan dust cloud to its south. A strange start this June to the Atlantic hurricane season.

[Philip Klotzbach @philklotzbach]

#Dolly has formed in the North Atlantic - the 3rd earliest 4th Atlantic named storm formation on record (since 1851). Danielle is earliest on 6/20/2016. Debby is 2nd earliest on 6/23/2012 at 12 UTC. Dolly in 2020 formed on June 23 at 1615 UTC. #hurricane
