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.

If you're interested in sea ice and how we can track its development, you may want to sign up for our 1-day seminar where we'll be talking about the breadth of ECVs for sea ice, new developments in tracking sea ice age, and the pitfalls and opportunities of climate model - observation comparisons.
📣 Join our Webinar "Beyond Sea Ice Area" on September 19th.

Sea Ice Age is the focus🔎

Main topics:
1. Review ECV sea ice products
2. Refine sea ice age product
3. Explore polar data issues

The Arctic Ocean acts to stabilize the AMOC

New paper in #ScienceAdvances by researchers from @bjerknes.uib.no and @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social showing how ongoing Atlantification and sea ice loss leads to a strengthening of the Arctic overturning circulation.

Atlantification drives recent strengthening of the Arctic overturning circulation
A less ice-covered Arctic shifts dense water formation northward, strengthening the Arctic Ocean overturning circulation.
