Title: RE: WEATHER IN GREENLAND
Post by: Mark on June 07, 2020, 09:11:52 AM

On the back of substantial surface mass balance (SMB) gains over the past few years, the Greenland ice sheet looks set to continue that trend of GROWTH in 2020

GAINING RECORD LEVELS of snow & ice. Never before in June has the Greenland ice sheet grown by more than 4 Gigatons in a single day, until now that is–according to Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) data going back to 1981.

Here are the latest measurements (from June 3, 2020).

Title: GREENLAND GAINS RECORD VOLUMES OF SNOW AND ICE FOR THE TIME OF YEAR
Post by: Mark on June 20, 2022, 07:15:07 AM

Greenland continues to defy AGW Party orders, refusing to melt as prophesied. Data from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) reveals that the island’s ice melt slowed significantly during the past decade, and that the trend has now swung to one of growth — media tizzies of ‘mass ice loss’ are wildly unfounded.

The Greenland ice sheet has been faring increasingly well in recent years. Since 2016, a sharp uptick in the Surface Mass Balance (SMB) –a calculation used to determine the ‘health’ of a glacier– has been detected, and daily/monthly records have routinely been broken.

Decades of reliable satellite measurements have allowed trends to be detected. And while it is true that the world’s largest island lost mass from around 1995 to 2012, that trend of loss has now reversed, almost completely, and like the gradual turning of a vast ship, from the year’s 2010 to 2015 Greenland’s SMB changed course and has been on an upward trajectory ever since.

This is clearly visible on the below chart which plots the total mass balance since 1985:

Title: RECORD OCTOBER ICE GAINS ON GREENLAND
Post by: Mark on October 24, 2022, 05:56:49 PM

Continuing the trend reversal that began in 2013, Greenland’s ice sheet has started the 2022-2023 season in comparatively impressive fashion.

Yesterday, the island logged Surface Mass Balance (SMB) gains never before witnessed during the month of October in data extending back to 1981.

Daily gains of 7+ Gigatons were registered by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) on Monday — unprecedented for the time of year:

Moreover, the season —overall– continues to comfortably track above the 1981-2010 mean:
