North Greenland had record summer snowmelt
Would you believe that one of the cause of flooding in a lot of places around the world are coming from the melting ice in the North Pole….just continue to read this news for more infos!! be informed of what is happening to your environment!! keep reading!! have a great day!!
North Greenland had record summer snowmelt

NEW YORK (UPI) — U.S. atmospheric scientists say satellite data indicates northern Greenland experienced a record number of melting days this summer.
City College of New York Assistant Professor Marco Tedesco said the northern part of the Greenland ice sheet experienced extreme snowmelt during this summer, with large portions of the area subject to record melting days.
Tedesco and his team said they based their conclusion on an analysis of microwave brightness temperature recorded by the Special Sensor Microwave Imager on the F13 satellite.
“Having such extreme melting so far north, where it is usually colder than the southern regions, is extremely interesting,” Tedesco said. “In 2007, the record occurred in southern Greenland, mostly at high elevation areas, where in 2008 extreme snowmelt occurred along the northern coast.”
He said melting in northern Greenland lasted up to 18 days longer than previous maximum values. And he said the melting index — the number of melting days times the area subject to melting — was three times greater than the 1979-2007 average.
The findings are reported in the Oct. 6 edition of “EOS,” a weekly newspaper published by the American Geophysical Union.

2008 ozone hole larger than 2007's hole

2008 ozone hole larger than 2007’s hole

PARIS (UPI) — The European Space Agency says scientists have determined the 2008 ozone hole is larger than last year’s ozone hole but smaller than the 2006 hole.
“This year the area of the thinned ozone layer over the South Pole reached about 27 million square kilometers, compared to 25 million square kilometers in 2007 and a record ozone hole extension of 29 million square kilometers in 2006, which is about the size of the North American continent,” the ESA said.
Scientists said the depletion of ozone is caused by extremely cold temperatures at high altitude and the presence of ozone-destructing gases such as chlorine and bromine, originating from man-made products like chlorofluorocarbons, which were phased out under the 1987 Montreal Protocol but linger in the atmosphere.
Julian Meyer-Arnek of the German Aerospace Center which monitors the hole annually, said since the polar vortex remained undisturbed for a long period, the 2008 ozone hole has become one of the largest ever observed.
The annual analysis is based on data provided by instruments aboard the ESA’s Envisat, ERS2 and MetOp satellites.
