Melt has vigorously picked up. And the biggest torching during this -NAO is just starting.
The graphic above shows 30-35% For the past 10 days.
Given the modeled temps the next 10 days. I would think it will jump to 40-50% average with a one day peak of 65-75%.
ASTA around GIS have blown up.
Snow is mostly gone on the land areas. Albedo is finally plummeting.
Late start but major melt underway.
If this pattern holds the next 7 weeks then this year will abruptly be bad.
