And there it is: green-up on West Chena Ridge in Fairbanks, four days earlier than the 50 year median, and first "earlier than median" green-up since 2019. #akwx #ClimateDiary #Alaska #Spring2024 #Phenology

Early Monday morning view of UAF and west Fairbanks from high atop the Geophysical Institute on Troth Yeddha'. Looking pretty brown now, but that will be changing in the coming week. 🍃🍃 Image courtesy Alaska Climate Research Center. #akwx #UAF #Fairbanks #Spring2024 @leahwrenn @CarrieinFbx @anisian

Green-up in Fairbanks is approaching. Using observed temperatures since March 1st and the forecasts for the ten days, our little model now showing a 60 percent of green-up late next week. The long term average green-up is May 8 and this year is sure to be earlier than that. #akwx #Spring2024 #Phenology @CarrieinFbx @anisian @mivox @themattphelps @debmcqueen @leepetersen @dboo @Climatologist49
