In case you need a podcast listen for the weekend, we recommend Beyond the Ice from the British Antarctic Survey. Check out the latest episode where Dr. Michelle Maclennan discusses the state of extreme weather over Antarctica and recent ice mass increases open.spotify.com/episode/30Tu...

New paper shows through a modelling experiment that reduced Antarctic sea ice may cause a positive feedback loop where the atmospheric response drive even further sea ice loss agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Great new paper recently published providing a detailed analysis on how Antarctic atmospheric river behavior will change in the future

New paper alert! Great study reveals that high-resolution modelling is important for capturing rainfall and surface melting response from Antarctic atmospheric rivers. link.springer.com/article/10.1... @marlenkolbe.bsky.social sky.social @ruthmottram.bsky.social

🧵 1/4 I'm very happy to share this comprehensive review paper covering atmospheric rivers in Antarctica. It was an idea that started during a workshop in Boulder back in summer 2023 and now is finally published thanks to an amazing team effort rdcu.be/d9nFY.

Fantastic paper out today that shows rainfall in Antarctica is an under-observed and under-appreciated risk to ice-sheet stability

Excellent new paper recently published on the increase of rapid Arctic sea-ice loss events and the connection with cyclones and a thinning ice pack. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

And flipping to the Arctic, another recent paper highlights the growing contribution of atmospheric rivers to the total Greenland surface mass balance. #Greenland #meteorology

Exciting new research on Antarctic atmospheric rivers that, among many things, confirms that sea-ice acts as a buffer weakening atmospheric rivers before they make landfall. Disappearing sea ice will mean stronger atmospheric rivers in the future. #antarctica #meteorology

The Conger Ice Shelf in East Antarctica collapsed during the dramatic heatwave in March 2022. An excellent new paper tells the story of the Conger Ice Shelf's long-term demise. @luketrusel.cryospherelab.org www.nature.com/articles/s41...

High-resolution ocean modeling may reveal more details on the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves.

New research shows that warm Southern Ocean sea surface temperatures are mainly to blame for record-low 2023 sea-ice extent. As long as sea surface temperatures remain elevated, sea ice extent will likely remain limited. www.nature.com/articles/s43...
