Uh, the #Antarctic sea ice anomaly continues to grow and is really a pronounced outlier for this time of year in our satellite record... 🥴 + View other perspectives (including a narrower graph zoom): zacklabe.com/antarctic-sea-i…
Line graph time series of 2023's daily Antarctic sea ice extent anomalies in red shading compared to each year from 1979 to 2022 using shades of purple to white for each line. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. There is substantial interannual and daily variability. There are no clear long-term trends.
