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…
The Antarctic 'research' fiasco – 'would you, could you, in a boat'?
This will be a top “sticky” post for awhile since interest is high – new stories will appear below this one – Anthony UPDATE: Josh channels the boat people UPDATE2: Another…
New ice core record shows climate variability in West Antarctica
Similar warming and cooling trends occurred in the mid-nineteenth and eighteenth centuries From AGU highlights: A 308-year ice core record provides new data on climate variability in coastal West Antarctica…
A new look at Greenland's ice sheet and the bedrock below
From NASA: Airborne Radar Looking Through Thick Ice During NASA Polar Campaigns The bedrock hidden beneath the thick ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica has intrigued researchers for years. Scientists…
On data losses -vs- geography in Cowtan and Way 2013: data dropout may account for most of the recent observed differences
At Climate Audit, Roman M. has a very interesting analysis that shows the surface grid cell losses from HadCRUT4 in C&W. It hones in on the issue of why the…
Volcano discovered smoldering under a kilometer of ice in West Antarctica
From the Washington University in St. Louis Its heat may increase the rate of ice loss from one of the continent’s major ice streams It wasn’t what they were looking…
The oldest ice core – Finding a 1.5 million-year record of Earth’s climate
How far into the past can ice-core records go? Scientists have now identified regions in Antarctica they say could store information about Earth’s climate and greenhouse gases extending as far…
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…
NASA Announces New Record Growth Of Antarctic Sea Ice Extent
Researchers have measured a new record for sea-ice extent in the Antarctic. Why the white splendour is extending there while it is rapidly disappearing in the Arctic is a mystery.…
Claim: atmosphere heats the oceans, melts Antarctic ice shelf
From Penn State Underlying ocean melts ice shelf, speeds up glacier movement Warm ocean water, not warm air, is melting the Pine Island Glacier’s floating ice shelf in Antarctica and…
The WUWT Hot Sheet for September 12th, 2013
Climate models wildly overestimated global warming, study finds Can you rely on the weather forecast? Maybe not, at least when it comes to global warming predictions over short time periods.…
New study: Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet melt may be natural event, no consensus on cause
Ice sheets are the largest potential source of future sea level rise – and they also possess the largest uncertainty over their future behaviour From the University of Bristol Continuous…
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…
New ideas on Antarctic ice sheet formation
From the University of Texas at Austin Scientists cast doubt on theory of what triggered Antarctic glaciation A team of U.S. and U.K. scientists has found geologic evidence that casts…
'Game changer' – Antarctic melt due to warm water, not air temperature
From the University of California – Irvine something that pretty well makes Steig et al 2009 even more irrelevant, since in that paper they did a survey of air temperatures…
