Yes, it's OK to post YouTube links. Welcome to the forums.

Honestly would not be shocked if this El Nino went so far off the charts that it had paradoxical effects. Weather horseshoe theory is real amirite

Exponential?

Lol was not expecting any rain today. But to my surprise, just got spit on by this little baby cell for a couple minutes. Just enough to wet the ground and get that petrichor smell going, nice

So much of that melting was augmented if not outright forced by variability high latitude circulation versus directly by warming temps. Almost all of the Arctic warming has been confined to the refreeze season (fall/winter) with very little warming observed during the melt season. There was a lot of old/thick multiyear flushed out of the Arctic into the NATL during the first decade of the 21st century via a mode of circulation commonly referred to as the “Arctic dipole” in literature. But that regime of seasonality terminated in 2013, and with it, the long term decline in Arctic ice.
