Antarctica temperature today

People sit in front of a lake during high temperatures in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Tuesday, June 6, 2023. Carbon-dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are trapping heat in the atmosphere. That's warming the planet and is the primary driver of more extreme weather events, including heat waves. Photographer: Anik Rahman/Bloomberg The global temperatures in May were the second-warmest in the past three decades as polar ice continues to melt, according to a monthly report by Europe’s Earth observation agency Copernicus. The area covered by sea ice in Antarctica last month touched a new low —third time to happenthis year —and was 17% below average for the period between 1979 and 2023. It also coincided with unprecedentedtemperatures over all oceans that aren’t covered by ice,thereport said.

"Average daily temperature in Antarctica is -58° F,"reads a screenshot of the slide in an anyice to melt, would need to raise the average daily temperature from -58 to +32° F (melting point of ice), plus another ~10° F = a total warming of +100°F."

"The average daily temperature varies over the continent, just like it does over any other continent," she said in an email."For example, the average daily temperature in Tucson, Arizona, is very different than the average daily temperature in Fargo, North Dakota, but they are both on the same continent.Same thing goes for Antarctica."

Pathways of water-mass circulation within the Weddell Sea and formation of WSBW on the shelf. The water masses within the Weddell Sea circulate around the cyclonic Weddell Gyre. WDW (red arrows) originating from the Antarctic Circumpolar Current enters the gyre from the northeast and flows towards the ice shelf. WSDW (yellow arrows) in the Weddell Sea is renewed from the input from the Indo-Pacific sector and is locally produced by the mixture of DSW and WDW. WSBW (dark blue arrows) in the Weddell Sea is sourced primarily from the southwestern continental shelf, where the HSSW (purple arrows) formed via sea-ice freezing is exported offshore from the western side of the Ronne Ice Shelf as well as spreading down to the FRIS, leading to Ice Shelf Water (light blue arrows) formation. DSW containing HSSW, Ice Shelf Water and a small portion of modified WDW descends into the Weddell basin while mixing with WDW to form WSBW. Three hydrographic transects—A12, SR4 and A23—are displayed in black lines, sitting on the Prime Meridian, across the gyre center and over the northern boundary of the gyre, respectively. I6S transect sits further east at 30° E, marking the eastern boundary of Weddell Gyre. Temperature and salinity measurements collected by conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) profilers are used to compute water mass area (Methods) shown in this study. The geographic locations of the Weddell Sea and southern Weddell continental shelf are marked in the inset circumpolar m...

The comparably balmy temperatures, which reached around 10 degrees Fahrenheit, arrived courtesy of a history-making atmospheric river — a plume of concentrated moisture that flows through the sky. This one brought an incredible dump of snow in the inner reaches of the ice sheet, something quite rare for the area. And in what could be a separate development, the Conger Ice Shelf — a hunk of ice similar in area to Los Angeles — collapsed into the sea right around the same time, satellite imaging shows. Researchers are scrambling to make sense of what has happened. The surprising temperatures and moisture are already changing how they think about weather in Antarctica and raising questions about what impacts the continent could see if such a wild temperature swing had happened in summer — or in a warmer future. And while researchers say it’s too early to know what role, if any, climate change is playing here, the event has their attention because it’s so extreme. “It was something we didn’t think was possible in Antarctica, the magnitude of heat, especially in what should be the cold season in Antarctica,” said Jonathan Wille, a postdoctoral researcher at the Université Grenoble Alpes in France, of the heat wave. “We’ve never seen the atmosphere behave like this over Antarctica.” The heat wave and dramatic inland snowfall highlight the importance of a better understanding of the complicated dynamics of atmospheric rivers — which today bolster the ice sheet but could be cause ...

Eastern Antarctica on Friday recorded temperatures that are 70 degrees higher than normal for this time of the year, Temperatures in the eastern part of the continent have soared50 to 90 degrees above normal,raising concern from the scientific community. The Post reported that instead of temperatures being between minus 50 andminus 60 degreesFahrenheit, they’ve been closer to zero or 10 degreesFahrenheit, which is considered to be a massive heat wave by Antarctic standards. According to a popular weather twitter account Extreme Temps, “e xtraordinary anomalies in Antarctica” have lead to historic records on Friday. Extraordinary anomalies in -Vostok 3489m -17.7C,monthly record beaten by nearly 15C ! -Concordia 3234m -12.2C,highest Temp. on records and about 40C above average ! -Dome C II 3250m -10.1C -D-47 1560m -3.3C -Terra Nova Base 74S +7.0C — Extreme Temperatures Around The World (@extremetemps) “In about 65 record years in Vostok, between March and October, values ​​above -30°C were never observed,” climate journalist Stefano Di Battista told the news outlet in an email. A researcher studying polar meteorology at the Université Grenoble AlpesDr. Jonathan Wille also tweeted that this heatwave was “never supposed to happen.” And there it is, Concordia broke its all time record temperature by 1.5 °C. This is when temperatures should be rapidly falling since the summer solstice in December. This is a Pacific Northwest 2021 heat wave kind of event. Never supposed to happen...
