In the first week of September 2022, a corridor of southerly winds emerged between an area of high surface pressure over southeastern Greenland and an area of low pressure to the west. Warm air from lower latitudes triggered a large late-season melt spike on the ice sheet. This animation shows mean sea level pressure (purple is low pressure, yellow and gray are high pressure) and surface winds on September 3. Animation is a screen recording from earth :: a global map of wind, weather, and ocean conditions (earth.nullschool.net/).
