The sea ice is also very thin, about one meter to two meters. The warmer (less cold) air mass apparently picks up energy from the ocean, because the air over the nearby land masses is -20 to -30 degrees C. The current forecast is for lower temperatures, down to the minus mid twenties. <br /><br />I see there's open water in the Kara sea, where temperature ranges from minus 1 C at the Kara Gate, to minus 30 C at the Yenisey River mouth. The Barents is mostly open water, temperature is above average. The air is unusually humid and this has led to a significant amount of snow fall. The Norwegians report their model has the ice volume at a value similar to 2012's, even though ice extent is slightly lower. This tells me the extra snow must be falling over sea ice and increasing its mass. <br /><br />I have walked over sea ice covered by a thick blanket of snow. It can be very scary when one is wearing 30 kg of Arctic gear and there's no reasonable chance to survive if the ice is too thin and one falls into the minus 2 degree water.
