Fig. 5: Meteorological conditions during the late February 2024 ice advection event as represented in ERA5.
From: Summer sea ice in the Northwestern Chukchi Sea observed in 2024 for the first time in 25 years
a Sea-level pressure (mb-contours), 10 m winds (m/s-vectors) and 10 m windspeed (m/s-shading) averaged over the period February 18–24 2024. b Time series of the normal component of the 10 m wind across the northern and eastern sides of the EP during February 2024 with the period February 18–24 indicated by the light shading. The black dashed line represents the median, with the red and blue lines representing the 95th and 99th percentile values, all based on data from February 1979–2024.
