Arctic Sea Ice Extent for 2013 is only 130,000 sq km under the 11,367,000 mean for day 173. Thats 1.13%.
You have to go back to 2004 before it was closer to the mean.

Same here a slight uptick which takes it way out of the previous trends. I would not be surprised if it stays within SD 79-90 for the whole year.. The jewel in the crown of AGW will be gone LOL
However DMI main page is still frozen to 2 weeks ago
Please can you tell me were you get your Arctic ice data from?
ftp://sidads.colorado.edu/DATASETS/NOAA/G02135/north/daily/data/
Two files. Current and older.
Change north to south for Antarctica.
Artic sea ice area is graphed here http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/en/home/seaice_extent_prev.htm
and here http://arctic-roos.org/observations/satellite-data/sea-ice/ice-area-and-extent-in-arctic
Note the difference between sea ice area and sea ice extent (which is also influenced by wind)
