Happy #halloween 👻 You know what's really scary? Global ice loss due to climate change. The polar ice sheets have together lost ice in every year of the satellite record, and the seven highest melting years have occurred in the last decade. 👉

Paper in GRL today with @carmenjulianab where we: (a) reflect on how to evaluate @esa_cryosat sea ice thickness retrievals with ULS moorings (b) show that thickness anomalies from climatology are better captured with partial radar penetration of the snow
