Large pieces of sea ice are breaking away from the northern tip of Greenland, to be carried by ocean currents to the Fram Strait east of Greenland. On their way they will melt away, illustrating how ocean heat can make even the thickest parts of the sea ice disappear in a matter of days.

The thick sea ice north of Greenland is breaking away due to high ocean heat and due to strong wind blowing from Greenland toward the North Pole, which is in turn due to deformation of the Jet Stream, one of the many feedbacks of the temperature rise.

26 July 2024

SMB gain to date is 427GT, 21GT (5%) below the 2017-2022 average of 448GT, and very close to the longterm average from DMI.

N.B. SMB is now reducing as run-off from melt exceeds precipitation.

Daily Melt remains at extreme levels for the time of year.

Until this day (26 July) daily SMB loss was mostly above average in July.
