Launched in October 2017, data from the #Sentinel5P has recently been released and we can see ozone over the South Pole. http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Observing_the_Earth/Copernicus/Sentinel-5P/Copernicus_Sentinel-5P_releases_first_data

Arctic sea ice extent was persistently low throughout the 2010s, punctuated by the record low September minimum of 2012. Eight out of 10 of the lowest September monthly average extents in the satellite record occurred during the past decade and the 13 lowest extents have occurred in the last 13 years from 2007 to 2019.

Released today: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 2020 Arctic Report Card. The Arctic Report Card is an annual, timely, and peer-reviewed source for info on the state of the Arctic, and several NSIDC scientists contributed to the 2020 report. Key takeaways from this year: in 2020, the Arctic had the second highest air temperatures on record for the region and the second lowest summer sea ice extent on record.

Entering December, sea ice extent remains far below average, dominated by the lack of ice on both the Pacific and Atlantic sides of the Arctic Ocean. As was the case for October, air temperatures averaged for November were well above average over much of the Arctic Ocean, notably over open water areas. Averaged for the month, total ice extent for November 2020 was the second lowest in the satellite record.
