Hi all. I've not written a diary for months about anything, and I thought it was about time I did so. The last Arctic sea ice diary I did was at the end of August 2011. Then the gloom of the fall-to-winter failing of the light (let's just call it SAD) took away my motivation to do much of anything except "function". Lots of others here do an excellent job of presenting broad-based information on climate change, so I don't think you missed much.
Be that as it may, here's what's been going on up north since August 2011, in one diary.
First is the usual picture of a favorite vantage point for assessing Arctic sea ice, the Barrow AK webcam located right at the Arctic Ocean shoreline. This was taken at about 8 a.m. local time on 28 May 2012.
