1/ More than 600km above ๐, NASA's PACE (standing for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ecosystem) satellite is in a polar orbit. Covering the globe in about two days, it gathers data on ocean colour, aerosols, and clouds enabling the study of climate change and ocean ecosystems.

4/ Emissions cuts? Temperature limits? ๐ง As @iccinet.bsky.social says, we cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice. โLosing sea ice is making climate change up to 15 percent worse than it would otherwise be.โ โ @edoddridge.bsky.social @utas.edu.au โถ๏ธ aapp.shorthandstories.com/a-world-with...
4/ Turns out it's all to do with how the wind interacts with the ocean. The weakening of winds leads to less ocean water being pushed toward the Antarctic coast, which allows warm water that sits below the surface to flow in that direction instead. The ACCESS-OM2-01 model runs from 1958 to 2018.
3/ Ice shelves resist the flow of continental ice to the sea. If warm ocean waters weaken the ice shelves, more ice will reach the ocean and melt, causing sea level to rise. Ocean measurements are critical to determine how much and how fast. โถ๏ธ aapp.shorthandstories.com/opening-the-...
๐ Ocean fronts are boundaries where different water masses collide.
