Jaxa Version 2 – Make The Low Even Lower (and the Great Big Con continues)

UPDATE: All the graphs are here.

Jaxa is one of the other sea ice monitoring agencies. They just came out with a version 2 of their data.

I thought … why not graph the difference between version 1 and version 2 for 2013.

Red = Version 2 Lower Than Version 1

Blue = Version 2 Higher Than Version 1

Guess what the following graph shows? It makes the minimum dramatically lower (400,000 sq km lower) and the maximum higher so the minimum looks even worse when graphed.

For shame.

  1. Where did you get the data for the version 1 and version 2 ice extent (or area)? Can you post the link(s), I’d like to look at the data myself (I trust you, just want to actually see it for myself).
