By applying a tracking method to both climate models and satellite data, @davyclimate.bsky.social found that sea ice age is a more sensitive indicator of change than ice thickness or volume. 🧪🌊 Read the publication here: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

We have a new paper out today taking a fresh look at sea ice age, showing how this variable offers new insights into Arctic climate change: A Fair Assessment of Sea Ice Age Reduces Bias and Gives New Insight to Arctic Sea Ice Dynamics agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Good news for the Gulf Stream! A study from @unibergen.bsky.social, the Bjerknes Centre and @ox.ac.uk indicates that the Arctic Ocean compensates for less deep water formation farther south. @mariusarthun.bsky.social @ailinbrakstad.bsky.social @jakobdoerr.bsky.social

From sea ice to the atmosphere, Earth’s systems are more interconnected than you think! Take a tour with this interactive illustration and see how climate models help scientists uncover the mysteries of our planet.🧪

To celebrate #CTDAppreciationDay, here's a video of a ride-along with a CTD in a (biologically active) Norwegian fjord during a student cruise! 🌊

In our project "Overturning circulation in the new Arctic" (ArMOC) we have deployed two Argo floats in the Arctic (north of Svalbard). A short story on the mission of Knoll & Tott here: bjerknes.uib.no/en/article/n... With Stefanie Semper, Birgit Rinde and @jakobdoerr.bsky.social

The Barents Sea is a hotspot for ongoing Arctic climate change and could be 7C warmer by 2100. Check out our amazing fact sheets from the Nansen Legacy project! arvenetternansen.com/fact-sheets-...

A good opportunity for a first post. Come work with us!

The northern Barents Sea could be 7 degrees warmer in 2050. Two scenarios, one a 4 degree increase and the other a 2.5 increase showed similar results. "One of the main findings is that you can't see a difference between these scenarios in 2050," says researcher Marius Årthun, with UiB and BCCR.🧪🌊

Starting in 2025, March 21 becomes the #WorldDayForGlaciers 🧊. Living in Norway I know the white beauties' magic 🏔️❄️ - being German, I know how it is to lose all of them in the next decade. What are the costs of cultural and environmental heritage for our limitless emissions? #ClimateAction

We have a new doctor in the house! Many congratulations Dr. Jakob Dörr @jakobdoerr.bsky.social, who defended his thesis "Present and future drivers of Arctic sea ice variability" today! Read his latest publication here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

New paper alert: While ice-free conditions in September are now likely unavoidable, with first ice-free days possible within the next decade & likely before 2050, future emissions will determine how frequently & for how long the Arctic will be ice-free. rdcu.be/dApgx

Got some Lagrangian perspective on the flight home from #OSM24

Well done @jakobdoerr.bsky.social 👏

Getting ready for Monday of #OSM24 🌊🔭✨ Come visit my poster on the interaction of subpolar gyre and overturning circulation: ativsoftware.com/appinfo.php?...

I'm excited for #OSM24! If you are interested in sea-ice variability, come see my talk on Thursday at 9:36 AM about causal links between Barents-Kara sea ice and oceanic and atmospheric drivers. Preprint here: doi.org/10.22541/ess... @bjerknes.bsky.social Also happy to meet, hang out, or discuss 🙂

Check out our new paper on the contribution of vapor fluxes to the surface mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet! 🧐🤓 tc.copernicus.org/articles/18/... We find that sublimation is a major driver of the summer SMB in the accumulation zone, removing about a third of the snowfall in June and July. 🌨️
