Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.
This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

Can goats predict earthquakes? Can dogs forecast volcanic eruptions? These scientists think so
Tracking the behaviour of tagged animals from space could transform the research into a host of natural phenomena
How @animaltracking.bsky.social plans to track animals with Icarus to create the Internet of Animals and be able to study not just how/if they react to geological phenomena, but also monitor disease spread and find out many other cool things from their movement: www.theguardian.com/science/2024...
