MASIE Arctic Ice Extent as of 2014-157

3 thoughts on “MASIE June 7 2014 – Greenland Sea and Sea of Okhotsk stubbornly gain some ice.

  1. I don’t see much happening here. By day 158, the bump in Greenland Sea was reversed. The gain in Sea of Okhotsk is strange, but still, only 7% of the max ice remains there. It will all go eventually, and nothing out of the ordinary.

    The CentraL Arctic, OTOH, is not melting at all–99.77% of max still in place.

  2. Adding in day 159, the real story, IMO, is around the Central Arctic (slight gain, almost to max) and Canadian Archipelago and Hudson Bay both holding on to 94% of max.
