The result, as shown in this Sentinel-2 image acquired on Sunday 30 January, was a record 18.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Over the final weekend of January 2022, the northeast of the United States was hit by a massive “Nor’easter” snowstorm. The result, as shown in this Sentinel-2 image acquired on Sunday 30 January, was a record 18.5cm of snow in Central Park, New York. This latest “bombogenesis” snowstorm – in which the mixing of cold air with warmer oceanic air causes atmospheric pressure to drop rapidly – is the latest in a series of increasingly intense winter storms in this part of the United States. According to Justin Mankin, assistant professor of geography at Dartmouth College, warmer Atlantic Ocean temperatures “likely intensified the storm above and beyond what it would have been” and are a “signature of global warming”. Warming ocean temperatures are one of the most significant consequences of global warming. The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service’s Sea Surface Temperature Thematic Assembly Centre provides state of the art products based primarily on satellite observational data which can be used to monitor ocean temperatures closely.
