2️⃣ A new study led by @icecoldwill.bsky.social in @jgroceans.bsky.social looks at the ocean's role in limiting winter sea-ice growth. A metric called “Stability at Freezing Temperature” estimates how much heat the ocean must lose to the atmosphere for ice to form.

Hats off to the New Zealand team behind this research in @jgroceans.bsky.social. Drilling through ice shelves is no easy feat.

Key findings:

🔥 Summer: Most heat flows toward glaciers, concentrated in the upper 150 m thanks to subglacial discharge.
🌀 Winter: Circulation is surprisingly strong but more 3D than in summer.
➡️ Two distinct winter inflow events: one cold & deep, one relatively warm!
