Earlier this month I didn't have the time to look at January's PIOMAS data, and still don't really aim to cover PIOMAS in detail...

This post looks at why Northern Hemisphere (NH) sea ice extent is so low at present. A commenter Dreesen asked what I thought about it, an...

Not all of the NCEP/NCAR data is available, and PIOMAS is yet to be released, but with the data available there is still a lot to cover abou...

Data is now in for March 2015, the early maximum is confirmed, temperatures over autumn/winter continue the pattern of recent years, and the...

Like me, you've probably noticed the singular lack of ice in the Bering Sea, it is very unusual and the cause is northward air flow. Tha...

Today a large storm has been battering the north of the UK, I've been stuck at work, but I just couldn't stop myself checking up on ...

Rather than just do a PIOMAS post, this post presents a few reflections on ice state in October as the refreeze progresses using various sou...

In terms of PIOMAS total volume the winter sea ice seems to have lost the 2013 volume gain. What might this mean for 2014's impending me...

I am tempted to make some cutting comment about those who indulge in games of 'look squirrel' and those who publicise them, but su...

I've been digging a bit more into record UK rainfall, not a major revelation, but I thought it worth blogging as this blog is essentiall...

In my mid month miscellanea post earlier today I posted a list of the top ten wettest summers, four of those are years from 2007 to 2013. Ju...

For my first post of the new year I can only start looking at the atmosphere, despite PIOMAS gridded data being out. I have to start here be...

James Screen has released a lot of important papers on Arctic sea ice loss and the atmosphere, he's done it again, in "Influence of...

Arctic Amplification is the tendency of the Arctic region to warm more than the global average with Global Warming. While it is an effect in...

Early last year I wrote a post on Eurasian snow cover, link , I've revisited this as part of my continuing attempt to explain the Greenl...

I've previously mentioned the Francis/Vavrus paper linking mid latitude persistent weather to Arctic Amplification, copy here , but have...

NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data for July is now available, so it is possible to assess what the atmospheric state has been in July, and for the su...

The full data for June are now available for Cryosphere Today Area (CT Area). As usual I'm still waiting for NCEP/NCAR reanalysis to pro...

In my previous post I produced a series of sea level pressure (SLP) plots from NCEP/NCAR reanalysis showing how anomalous the SLP field for ...

Arctic Amplification is the term used for the enhanced warming of the Arctic when compared to warming rates for the rest of the globe. While...
