2016 Arctic sea ice thread

Yep, at Nunavut it is colder than at Hudson's Bay. And Nunavut is about as much further north from Hudson's Bay as Maine is from Virgina. In fact, Nunavut is about as far north as the beginning of the Northwest Passage. So, those tempretures are not at all 'cold' for that location at this time of year.

Technically speaking, it is adjacent to Hudson Bay, beings how it is actually part land, that is where one finds the temperature stations, versus in the actual water of the Hudson bay.

Further, we are speaking of the Arctic? Are we not Old Crock, so it is appropriate we reference the portion of the Hudson Bay that is the Arctic.

Another big lose for you Old Crock. See that big blueish green spot, we all call Hudson bay, that area to the right, in red is Nunavut!
Thanks Old Crock, for pointing out how stupid Old Crock is.

And Repulse Bay sits at the very north of Hudson Bay. And the southern border of Nunavut sits about two thirds down Hudson Bay. A very long distance. And a different climate. And the south shore of Hudson Bay is in Ontario and Quebec, and has a warmer climate yet.

ABSTRACT

The Hudson Bay Basin underlies most of Hudson Bay, with exposed portions on the Northern and Central Hudson Bay Lowland to the southwest, and on Southampton, Coats and Mansel Islands to the north. The thickest section is toward the centre of Hudson Bay where between 6,000 and 10,000 feet of Phanerozoic strata have been variously interpreted by geophysical surveys. The Hudson Bay Basin is separated from the smaller James Bay Basin in the Southern Hudson Bay Lowland by the Patricia Arch. The Bell Arch is the bounding feature on the north. A possible sedimentary basin, the Foxe Basin, may exist north of this arch.

The composite stratigraphic succession in the Northern and Central Hudson Bay Lowland consists, in ascending order, of the Ordovician Bad Cache Rapids Group, with Portage Chute and Surprise Creek Formations; the Churchill River Group, with Caution Creek and Chasm Creek Formations; and Red Head Rapids Formation; and the Silurian Port Nelson, Severn River, Ekwan River and Attawapiskat Formations. The high Silurian Kenogami River Formation, the Devonian Sextant, Abitibi River, Williams Island and Long Rapids Formations, and the Cretaceous(?) Mattagami Formation, are known only in James Bay Basin, but may have their counterparts in the Hudson Bay Basin.

The Ordovician and Silurian are predominantly carbonate, and possibly 2,000 feet thick in the Central Lowland. The latter system contains porous reefs. The Devonian is of mixed lithology, mainly limestone and shale, and outcrops only in the Southern Lowland or James Bay Basin. Regional studies, however, indicate it extends along coastal areas of the Central Lowland and is on the mid-bay shoal in Hudson Bay. Cretaceous(?), known only from the Southern Lowland as a continental coal-bearing sequence, may be present in the Northern Lowland. Geophysical data for the Devonian and possibly younger systems indicate a minimum onshore thickness of 1,600 feet.

On Southampton, Coats and Mansel Islands, Ordovician and Silurian carbonates lithologically similar to their counterparts in the Lowland have been recognized. Ordovician has been found only on Southampton. It approaches 500 feet in thickness and contains an oil shale interval, 50 feet thick, in the uppermost part. Silurian is most widespread, apparently occupying all of Mansel and much of Coats and Southampton Islands. Thickness is uncertain but surface data suggest 1,000 feet or more.

Why not?

Are you actually going to argue that Nunavut is not north of Hudson Bay? Wow. There's stupid, and then there's Elektra stupid.
 
Once again Elektra demonstrates her ability to lie. The thread is about the current conditions in the Arctic, and the effect on the sea ice. Those kinds of temperatures at Nome and Inuvik mean there is a very large area of warm air right on the Arctic coast. And that melts ice. In fact, there are large areas right off the coast of Canada and northern Alaska right now that are open water.

I see you are ignoring the Arctic, fine and dandy. I see you are also ignoring Hudson bay, which been simply cold with lots of Ice.

Old Crock, are you still fuming over failing at that simple multiplication, you know the, "easy as P=IE" formula which you got so wrong and beat up over?

Damn, Elektra, can't you get even the simplest of things right?
What is this?

I am simply presenting facts, it is you that ain't got a clue to geography, are you stating I can not use freezing temperatures of Nunavut as content in this thread? If I take your idiocy as fact, then Nunavut is fully 1/3rd of the border of Hudson bay, and a temperature in Nunavut is relevant to the region we are discussing.

I guess Crick would rather dismiss temperature data when discussing Arctic Sea Ice.
 
The area that you posted the temperatures for is Repulse Bay, Nunavut. It lies at 66 degrees, 31' 19" north. You see that island in the extreme north of Hudson Bay, with the peninsula on the northwest corner? That peninsula points right at Repulse Bay or Naujaat, as it is presently called.

Now the town I posted the temperatures for is Inuvik, NWT. It lies at 68 degrees, 21' 42". Two degrees farther north than Nunavut. Very close to the Arctic Ocean.

And as you can see, it is much warmer than Naujaat, Nunavut.

Yes, I can see the populated town you have cherry picked is warmer than the southern edge of the Arctic Circle, one part of the Arctic can be warmer than the other parts that are below freezing, are you arguing Old Crock that one town is going to melt the polar ice cap while the rest of the Arctic is in fact below freezing!

As post #74 shows, the Arctic is melting more rapidly than it ever has during the time we have had it under satellite observation. All the idiotic blathering of fools cannot change that.

So, the Arctic is only 6 feet thick, which is why everybody like to watch the Arctic. You can show great changes in a thin piece of ice.

The Antarctic is 2 miles thick.

The Hudson bay, lots of ice.

Ice
During the year, some Canadian waters become more hazardous due to the presence of sea or lake ice, and/or icebergs.
 
And Greenland ice is 1.2 miles thick. So what?

And the ice in Antarctica and Greenland is losing mass. In Greenland, both from melt and glacial thinning, in Antarctica, mainly from glacial thinning.

The melting of the arctic sea ice has had many more effects than just the creation of open water.
