Atmosphere and climate over Larsen C
A blog documenting research into the atmosphere and climate of the Larsen C ice shelf, Antartica.
A year ago, the megaberg, A68, broke away from Larsen C (ok, so it was more than a year ago, but I've been away... allow me). I spoke to the BBC's Jon Amos about it, and they made this snappy little video about it. Check it out: https://twitter.com/BBCScienceNews/status/1016334382636978176 So what's happening to it now? … Continue reading A(68)nniversary
The end of the line...nearly
It's hanging on by a thread. A 13 km thread, but a thread nonetheless.
A new fork has appeared, almost overnight, in the crack on Larsen C. Could this mean the iceberg-to-be is going to break off any day now?
This is an extremely interesting consideration of the validity and robustness of trends estimated from limited numbers of data points. The jury is still out on the magnitude and even direction of temperature trends on the Antarctic Peninsula – clearly the need for further research and data collection is ever more pressing.
I tend to hammer away at the concept of trend. Like many, I’m especially interested in whether, and if so when, trends have changed.
