Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 7 March 2022, shows the sea ice extending between Greenland and Iceland. According to the latest climate bulletin published by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), the extent of the Arctic sea ice in February 2022 was 2% below the 1991-2020 average for the same month. Even though the value is only slightly under average, this was the thirteenth consecutive February with a negative anomaly in sea ice extent. Precisely, the monthly average in February 2022 reached 14.7 million km2, 0.3 million km2 (or 2%) below the 1991-2020 average for the same month. Moreover, the Arctic sea ice extent has consistently been below average since July 2021. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) publishes monthly reports detailing the findings from sea ice extent monitoring, including sea ice maps that help to visualise the results of the high-quality analysis conducted by its scientists.
