The latest drop of #Antarctic #SeaIce extent seen in my plots is of course not real but an artefact due to missing #JAXA satellite data. I received the following messages:
Malfunction of the product upload system for G-Portal was occurred at 02:05UTC on August 30th, 2023...
We'll continue manual registration for further products, but the situation might remain for a while...

@PoLaRobs - A thread about the extreme anomaly in Antarctic sea-ice extent this year, the present state of knowledge on the reasons for it and why further research is important.
I find the sharp downward trend in Antarctic sea-ice extent that started 7 years ago deeply unsettling, which is why I toot about it a lot.

> Four out of five #emperor #penguin #colonies in the #Bellingshausen Sea, Antarctica experienced breeding #failure in spring 2022 due to unprecedented sea #ice loss, according to an #analysis of #satellite #images over 2018–2022.

“A catastrophic die-off of emperor penguin chicks has been observed in the #antarctic with up to 10K young birds estimated to have been killed.
“The sea-ice underneath the chicks melted & broke apart before they could develop the waterproof feathers needed to swim in the ocean.
“The birds most likely drowned or froze to death.”

Emperor #penguins lay eggs from May to June. The eggs hatch after 65 days. But chicks do not fledge until the following December and January.
Last year 100% of the sea ice in Antarctica's Bellingshausen Sea region melted in November, making it very unlikely any of the chicks survived - "a breeding failure at an #unprecedented scale".

"Climate change: Thousands of penguins die in Antarctic ice breakup"
When I was very young - before global warming became a thing - I thought that penguins and polar bears would inherit the earth once humans had gone up in a puff of nuclear smoke.
How wrong I was.
