🌊 In Isfjorden, Svalbard, air–sea heat exchange varies across space and time. Sea ice and local winds create hotspots, while nearby open ocean loses heat more uniformly.

🌀Summer 2006: the northern Antarctic Peninsula, a highly productive ecosystem, saw record-high phytoplankton blooms – the largest in over two decades.

But why?

PolarRES’s Timo Vihma, with collaborators, analysed long-term data to uncover the reasons: bit.ly/3UwCiNF

💻Antarctic sea ice is changing, but models often miss key details.

The new MetROMS-UHel model improves sea ice and atmospheric data, with better summer sea ice area predictions — though ice near coasts is thinner and more deformed.

❗Svalbard, one of the fastest warming regions, saw record summer heat in 2024.

🌡️Even after accounting for warming trend, August temps rose far beyond the norm.

📈 PolarRES finds unprecedented weather patterns and warm seas drove it, raising questions about future persistence.

Lucia just gave a great talk on Arctic phytoplankton dynamics!

Her research shows how climate-driven changes in the Barents & Nordic Seas lead to two distinct phytoplankton response pathways.

For more PolarRES insights at #EGU25, head to Hall X5 at 14:00 for Juho’s poster presentation.

Today at #EGU25, catch Lucia and Juho in action!

Lucia presents her work on phytoplankton bloom dynamics at 12:00, and Juho presents his poster at 14:00 on the effect of model biases.
