Computer model predicts vastly different ecosystem in Antarctica's Ross Sea in the coming century
NSF Press Release 14-028 Rising temperatures and changing wind patterns sure to affect predator-prey relationships, researchers say Adelie penguins cross ice floes near a lead–or opening–in the sea ice at…
Antarctica Has Sea Ice Rabbit Ears, a V for Victory or Maybe It's a Peace Sign?…
Image Credit: NSIDC WUWT Regular “Just The Facts” As you can see from the Southern Hemisphere Sea Ice Extent With Anomaly map above, there are currently two large fingers of…
Newsbytes: EU Orders Britain To End Wind And Solar Subsidies
From The GWPF and Dr. Benny Peiser: The European Commission is to order Britain to end wind farm subsidies. Officials have told ministers that the current level of state support…
The cause of the Akademik Shokalskiy getting stuck in Antarctica – delay from sightseeing mishaps and dawdling by the passengers getting back on ship
This pretty much nails the cause of the situation, and blows expedition leader Chris Turney’s claim about being “surprised” about the situation literally out of the water. In my post…
Now that the 'Ship of Fools' is safe in Antarctica, tough questions need to be asked
UPDATE: Perhaps the headline was premature, the latest SITREP from the rescue ship Aurora Australis indicates they are having some trouble getting into open water. UPDATE2: It seems the cause…
WUWT and WeatherBell help KUSI-TV with a weather forecasting request from ice-trapped ship in Antarctica Akademik Shokalskiy
Today, while shopping at lunchtime for some last minute year end supplies, I got one of the strangest cell-phone calls ever. It was from my friend John Coleman, the founder…
Coldest ever temperature recorded on Earth found in Antarctica
Press Release: Landsat 8 helps unveil the coldest place on Earth SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Scientists recently recorded the lowest temperatures on Earth at a desolate and remote ice plateau in East…
A new record: the most sea ice in Antarctica in 30 years by extent and by volume
Translated by Google from this press release in German at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany: Never so much sea ice at Antarctica in the last 30 years In light…
Claim: winds blamed for Antarctic sea ice approaching record high
Stronger winds explain puzzling growth of sea ice in Antarctica From University of Washington press room by Hannah Hickey Much attention is paid to melting sea ice in the Arctic.…
'Ozone hole' may be a warming factor due to wind shifts
First, a clarification; while the AGU calls it an “ozone hole”, it technically isn’t. As NASA says here, it really isn’t a “hole” in the true sense of the word,…
Glacier in Antarctica does what glaciers do
From NASA, who has moved up from “Manhattans” to quarter states as a scale comparison unit: Antarctic Glacier Calves Iceberg One-Fourth Size of Rhode Island This week a European Earth-observing…
Ozone hole in Antarctica shrinks significantly, but not a record low as erroneously reported elsewhere
While this is good news any way you look at it, I note there are a number of news reports saying that the “Ozone Hole Shrinks to Record Low” which…
On noes! CO2 dissolving snails in Antarctica
From the British Antarctic Survey and the University of East Anglia comes one of those press releases where I just have to wonder if this won’t eventually go the way…
Bipolar disorder – as in the Arctic, the Antarctic sea ice extent is affected by wind, unless of course it's 'climate change'
From the “no matter what happens it is climate change” department. So, according to this, when the Arctic loses ice it is due to climate change ‘global warming’ when the…
New research in Antarctica shows CO2 follows temperature "by a few hundred years at most"
The question of “which comes first, the temperature or the CO2 rise?” has been much like the proverbial “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” question. This seems to…
NASA: Warm Ocean Currents Cause Majority of Ice Loss from Antarctica
Breaking news from NASA and the ICEsat team, that’s their headline, not mine. This really makes all the hype over the now discredited Steig et al. paper, which attempted to…
JPL: Missing ice in 2007 drained out the Nares strait – pushed south by wind where it melted far away from the Arctic
This fits right in to what I’ve been blogging about for two years. the 2007 record minimum ice extent was wind driven not melt driven. A significant portion of the…
Antarctica to get surface based space weather monitoring network
Of course the big question is, will they be able to keep the stations from becoming buried in snow like weather stations in the flawed Steig et al paper that…
Results: Lab experiment regarding CO2 "snow" in Antarctica at -113°F (-80.5°C) – not possible
A couple of days ago WUWT carried a story, talking about intense cold in Antarctica, carbon dioxide, and the icecap of Mars. This one passage stirred up a significant debate:…
A brick through Australia's AGW window
This article from the Sydney Morning herald came with the message from Bruce saying: “a brick through the AGW window in Australia”. After reading it, and seeing that it is…
Wind shifts may stir CO2 from Antarctic depths
Releases may have speeded end of last ice age — and could act again IMAGE: This pictures shows the locations of cores showing Antarctic upwelling. Click here for more information.…
Snow job in Antarctica – digging out the data source
UPDATE: the question has arisen about “occupied” aka “manned” weather stations in Antarctica (Stevenson Screens etc) versus the Automated Weather Stations. This picture on a postage stamp from Australia, celebrating…
