Greenland’s summer melt season has already begun — more than a month ahead of schedule.
Warmth over Greenland is highlighted in a daily analysis from mid-April. By Matthew Cappucci April 18 at 2:44 PM You might have heard about the exceptional heat this year in the northern hemisphere and around the world. March was just declared the second warmest on record globally
Marco Tedesco is a professor in atmospheric sciences at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. He monitors behavior of the cryosphere — the part of earth’s water system that is frozen. He says melting of this extent shouldn’t begin until May. “The first melt event was detected on April 7,” he wrote in email.
Going forward, “[t]hese types of patterns are expected to occur more frequently,” Francis wrote, citing climate change as the culprit. “Arctic ice cover continues to dwindle and temperatures there soar.” “I call this ‘melting cannibalism,” explained Tedesco. And it could get even worse, as it preconditions the ice to be more vulnerable to melting in the summer.
