Reading Robert Pondiscio's recent article («The Left's drive to push conservatives
out of education reform») calls to mind Al Gore's «An Inconvenient Truth» and its powerful image
of a polar bear drifting helplessly on a shrinking sheet
of ice in a warming
sea.
The crew set
out from San Francisco in 1879, hoping to prove the popular theory that the polar
sea was free
of ice past the Bering Strait, but those hopes are soon dashed when the Jeannette becomes trapped in
ice — where it stayed for the next 21 months.
Stories are compasses and architecture, we navigate by them, we build our sanctuaries and our prisons
out of them, and to be without a story is to be lost in the vastness
of a world that spreads in all directions like arctic tundra or
sea ice.
Frosted Cherry Pop - Tarts are the perfect snack for a hike, particularly when eaten on the deserted shore
of a glacial lake with bald eagles and
sea planes flying overhead, and SUV - sized chunks
of blue
ice out there, melting slowly in the sun.
With views over the pool and
out to the
sea it was just beautiful to finish off a great day on the reef by sitting on the large balcony with a glass

Ice cold beer.
We walked along the string
of whitewashed stone cottages that stretch either side

sea loch in the north - west Highlands.
Sunsets are made much more enjoyable with a drink in your hand so when night approaches, be sure to take advantage
of the cheap drinks on offer — about 80 Baht for a nice cold beer or caramel
ice coffee — which you can enjoy on the beautiful decking while staring
out to
sea.
PIOMAS has been used in a wide range
of applications but arguably the most popular product has been the time series
of total Arctic
sea ice volume which we have been putting
out since March 2010 (see also Fig 1).
Natural climate variability
of the Arctic atmosphere, the impact
of Greenland and PBL stability changes K. Dethloff *, A. Rinke *, W. Dorn *, D. Handorf *, J. H. Christensen ** * AWI Potsdam, ** DMI Copenhagen Unforced and forced long - term model integrations from 500 to 1000 years with global coupled atmosphere - ocean -
sea -
ice models have been analysed in order to find
out whether the different models are able to simulate the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) similar to the real atmosphere.
(Surely the presence or absence
of glacial
ice doesn't greatly affect the «piling up»
of sea ice against the shore — or terminal
ice shelf — by persistent wind and current
out of the North?)
So what we need is detailed topo maps
of the bed and thickness
of the GIS, and to work
out a map
of the «net buoyancy», or some such (i.e. total
ice area density subtracted from the area density
of a hypothetical column
of water resting on the bed and extending up to
sea level).
I would then
of course point
out that the melting is occuring much more quickly than we anticipated, at least in the case
of the Arctic
sea ice, Greenland's glaciers and the Western Antarctic Peninsula.
