Such an obvious bi-annual event, but still sooo cool! =)
Happy Equinox!

This winter's daily Baltic Sea #icechart :ing, done jointly by the Finnish and Swedish ice services, started today. The freeze-up is well under way in the Bay of Bothnia and the #icebreaking operation will quite likely start within a few weeks.

The long-awaited #Sentinel-1C satellite 🛰️ is now in orbit! So excited to pipeline its data to our sea-ice monitoring and the #BalticSea #icebreaking as soon as possible. www.esa.int/Newsroom/Pre...

Get your popcorn 🍿 ready. In Kemi the previous all-time low was recorded in 2016, back then reaching -128 below mean water reference.
Sea level will drop dramatically at the head of the Gulf of Bothnia due to persistent and strong northeasterly winds.

The forecast for Kemi shows -141 cm, which would set a new all-time record low if confirmed.
