Two other arctic bits of news from yesterday,

[1] Two new studies substantially advance understanding of currents that help regulate climate, https://phys.org/news/2020-10-substantially-advance-currents...

More focused on the Atlantic conveyors & new discoveries there. But very Arctic related, about the thermohaline cycle that has allowed warm water to sink & cool & how that has worked.

[2] 'Sleeping giant' Arctic methane deposits starting to release, scientists find, https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/oct/27/sleeping-gia...

Laptev sea specific... for now! Laptev Sea hasn't frozen... oh and the methane & other hydrates are dissolving, & also present at much higher concentrations at the surface than usual.
