Panama's Seasonal Upwelling Fails for First Time on Record

In early 2025, Panama experienced an unprecedented failure of its seasonal upwelling, a phenomenon crucial for marine life and fishing, lasting only 12 days compared to the typical 66 days and reaching only 23°C instead of 19°C, likely due to unusual wind patterns potentially linked to a weak La Niñ...

What are the potential causes of this unprecedented event?

The study points to unusual wind patterns as the most likely cause. Typically, trade winds from the Caribbean drive the upwelling; however, these winds were unusually weak in early 2025. A weak La Niña event is suggested as a possible contributing factor, although its role isn't fully understood, especially since stronger La Niñas haven't stopped the upwelling before.

What are the immediate consequences of the recent NOAA layoffs on weather forecasting, fisheries management, and disaster preparedness?

Over 1,000 employees, including expert oceanographers like Heather Welch, were recently laid off from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This significantly reduces NOAA's capacity to monitor and predict ocean changes, impacting weather forecasting, fisheries management, and disaster preparedness. The cuts particularly affect NOAA's ability to provide crucial climate data to fisheries, potentially leading to reduced harvests and unsustainable practices.

Record Low Global Sea Ice Extent in February 2025

In February 2025, global sea ice extent fell to a record low, with Arctic sea ice 8% below average and Antarctic sea ice 26% below average, driven by rising temperatures from planet-heating pollutants and a strong Arctic warming event.

What are the immediate consequences of the record low global sea ice extent in February 2025?

Global sea ice extent reached a record low in February 2025, with Arctic sea ice 8% below average and Antarctic sea ice 26% below average. This is a direct consequence of rising global temperatures caused by planet-heating pollutants, leading to accelerated ice melt and increased absorption of sunlight by the darker ocean surfaces.

What is the significance of January 2025 setting a new record high temperature despite the end of the El Niño weather pattern?

January 2025 was the hottest January on record, exceeding the 1991-2020 average by 0.79 degrees Celsius and the pre-industrial average by 1.75 degrees Celsius, according to Copernicus Climate Change Service. This follows 2024 as the warmest year on record, despite the end of the El Niño event. The unexpectedly high temperatures raise concerns about climate change acceleration.

How does Niseko's success compare to the overall trends in Japan's ski industry, and what factors explain this difference?

The success of Niseko's ski season contrasts with Japan's broader trend of declining snowfall and resort closures due to climate change and a shrinking domestic skier base. Niseko's continued popularity is linked to its high-quality, dry powder snow, consistent snow coverage, and increased foreign tourism, particularly from the US, fueled by luxury resorts and upscale amenities. The belief in Mount Yotei as a 'snow catcher' also contributes to the town's reputation.
