If your are curious about the current melt season over the Greenland ice sheet and notably about the record of melt extent recently pointed out by the NASA, I have posted on my web site some results of the regional climate model MAR forced by the ECMWF operational reanalysis unitil the 22nd of July:

MAR suggests that the 2012 seems to be again a record melt season with a time integrated SMB near the absolute minimum of 2010. As previous summers, this is again due to (negative) anomalies in NAO.
Enjoy your holiday after the IPCC deadline,
