Day 226–NH ice melting has accelerated (a week’s worth of loss in the last 4 days) and the total loss is now at 59% of maximum.
With today’s NH extent of 6,332,381 sq. Km., a normal further reduction of 9% 0f max over the next 4 weeks would give a 2014 minimum of 4.97M
Sq Kms.
Those regions with below average melt:
Central Arctic now has 95% ice left
Beaufort Sea is holding at 73%
Canadian Archipelago is now at 63%,
East Siberian Sea is now at 61%
