![]() ![]() The one area of pronounced warmth is centered over the Mackenzie River Delta, with temperatures up to 7 degrees Celsius (13 degrees Fahrenheit) above average. Arctic temperatures at the 925 hPa level were from 1 to 3 degrees Celsius (2 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit) above average across much of the Arctic Ocean but below average by 1 to 4 degrees Celsius (2 to 7 degrees Fahrenheit) over the Laptev Sea, which as noted above is largely ice free. This contrasts sharply with the record high global average surface air temperature (2 meters or 6.6 feet above the surface) for the month as shown in records compiled by NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other agencies. Yellows and reds indicate high air pressure blues and purples indicate low pressure.Ĭredit: NSIDC courtesy NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory Physical Sciences LaboratoryĪir temperatures at the 925 hPa level (approximately 2,500 feet above the surface) averaged for July 2023 were with one exception unremarkable (Figure 2). This plot shows average sea level pressure in the Arctic in millibars from July 1 to 29, 2023. To date since July 1, 2.86 million square kilometers (1.10 million square miles) of sea ice have melted. ![]() ![]() The ice edge has retreated to well north of the Alaskan and Mackenzie Delta coasts, but it is clear that the southern (Amundsen’s) route through the Northwest Passage is still choked with ice. ![]() However, ice is still present along much of the Northern Sea Route, noting of course that Russian ice breakers are quite capable of keeping routes open. Large parts of the Laptev and East Siberian seas are largely ice free, and a large area of fairly low ice concentration extends north of the Laptev Sea. The sea ice concentration image on August 1, 2023, from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) offers a detailed view of Arctic sea ice conditions (Figure1b). While there is speculation that a fundamental change in the Antarctic sea ice system is afoot, there is some evidence from early satellite data that extent may have been similarly low in 1966. By stark contrast, Antarctic sea ice extent remained far below previous record daily lows throughout the month. The July average Arctic sea ice extent of 8.18 million square kilometers (3.16 million square miles) was the twelfth lowest in the satellite record, and 1.29 million square kilometers (498,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 reference period. Sea ice concentration data are from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) imagery.įor the month of July, Arctic sea ice extent declined at a pace of 93,300 square kilometers (36,000 square miles) per day, near the 1981 to 2010 average of 86,900 square kilometers (33,600 square miles) per day (Figure 1a). This map shows a large opening on August 1, 2023, in the Laptev and East Siberian Seas and extensive open water north of Alaska and the Mackenzie River Delta. Who renderest the iniquity of the fathers to the children, and to the grandchildren, unto the third and fourth generation.Ĩ And Moses making haste, bowed down prostrate unto the earth, and adoring,ĩ Said: If I have found grace in thy sight: O Lord, I beseech thee, that thou wilt go with us, (for it is a stiffnecked people,) and take away our iniquities and sin, and possess us.Ģ8 And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights: he neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the ten words of the covenant.Figure 1b. And when he returned into the camp, his servant Josue the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle.ģ4:5 And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.Ħ And when he passed before him, he said: O the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, patient and of much compassion, and true,ħ Who keepest mercy unto thousands: who takest away iniquity, and wickedness, and sin, and no man of himself is innocent before thee. And they stood, and worshipped at the doors of their tents.ġ1 And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to speak to his friend. 8 And when Moses went forth to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and every one stood in the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses, till he went into the tabernacle.ĩ And when he was gone into the tabernacle of the covenant, the pillar of the cloud came down, and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.ġ0 And all saw that the pillar of the cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle. ![]()
