Recently, we have developed new products at cryo.met.no that show real-time permafrost temperature data from operational monitoring sites in Svalbard and Norway.

We have an available 3-years position as researcher / scientific programmer!
Closing date October 15, 2021!

We are proud that our sea ice data were used in the 6th IPCC Assessment Report (AR6) that was released early this August!

We’re pleased to announce the availability of our visualisations from a number of short-range sea ice forecasts for the Greenland Sea and Fram Strait. These provide maps of estimated sea ice concentration, thickness, and drift at 24 forecast intervals, and animations for the whole forecast period, up to 6 days ahead. The new page also provides a comparison of the forecasts for predicted distance and direction of the sea ice edge from near Jan Mayen island.

Summer is approaching fast. During the last month snow covering approximately 150 000 square kilometers of land has melted, as the total snow-covered area for Mainland Norway has gone from 60% to 10%.

Don’t miss the chance to hear our research scientists talk about the cryosphere this month.
