I dette smelteår er der igen forsvundet meget mere is fra Indlandsisen, end der er blevet dannet - for 26. år i træk. Indlandsisen har mistet cirka 84 mia. tons is siden sidste sæson viser @PromiceGL's klimastationer på isen #dkvid #dkgreen https://www.geus.dk/om-geus/nyheder/nyhedsarkiv/2022/sep/indlandsisen-svinder

The effect of this year's warm September in #Greenland was clearly visible at our @PromiceGL weather station last week. Wet slippery ice and puddles - very unusual for this location. #GEUS #FieldPhotoFriday

Jason Box @climate_ice from Geological Survey of Denmark compared CARRA to other applications pointing out its unprecedented accuracy in physiography, lower biases & deviations thanks to features like daily albedo maps without gaps, microwave radiances & 40 stations in Greenland.

Southerly winds bring unseasonably warm air to Greenland. In the southwest, this results in widespread melting, quite unusual for the time of the year.
