Another Wow! And BTW, I hope your procedure went OK yesterday. Well I’m off to phy. thrp.
Dip in solar Activity is why..http://www.solen.info/solar/
Any chance you can make that chart soon???
Extra Cold water in the Circumpolar current, low Solar activity [10.7 cm Flux ->100 – 110], and Sun still in Northern Hemisphere these combine to accelerate the Cold/Cooling increasing the Sea Ice Extent.
Blue = Antarctic Extent
Red = sunspot
Orange = flux
Purple = area
data from “http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/old_indices/2014Q3_DSD.txt

They claim Antarctica is losing 125 cubic km per year.
NSIDC: “The Antarctic Ice Sheet contains 30 million cubic kilometers … of ice.”
30,000,000 / 125 = 240,000 years worth
The end of this interglacial will occur in the next few thousand years.
