Iceberg breaks off in Antartica

🧊 The iceberg is around 600 square miles, or 1550 square kilometers. Researchers at the data center say the low sea ice has been due in part to a large band of warmer-than-normal air temperatures, which climbed to 2 degrees Celsius above average over the Ross Sea in November and December. Strong winds have also hastened the sea ice decline, they reported.

🧊 Satellite data that stretches back to 1978 shows that the region was still producing record-high sea ice extent as recently as 2014 and 2015. Then it suddenly plunged in 2016 and has stayed lower than average since.

Call: Copernicus Marine User Engagement

🌊 The objective of the call is to develop pilot exemplary use cases of marine coastal downscaling monitoring activities that support the implementation of EU environmental directives at national level.

🌊 It also aims at identifying gaps and bottlenecks to be overcome for the construction of a future seamless Copernicus coastal marine monitoring service from the open ocean to the coast.

📆 Deadline: March 3

More info: Copernicus Marine User Engagement call is open.
