Arctic Sea Ice Extent Sep 22 2014 – 35,000 sq km Rise

Published on by sunshinehours1

Arctic Sea Ice Extent Sep 22 2014 – -1,132,000 sq km below the 1981-2010 mean. Data for Day 264. Data here.

I’ll go out on a limb and say summer is over in the Arctic. Minimum occurred on Sept 16 at 4.98 million sq km and is now 167,000 sq km above that minimum.

It didn’t disappear. Many are disappointed.

Day 259 was the minimum. The latest minimum was day 265 in 1989 and 2005 and the earliest minimum was day 245 in  1987.

  1. Yes, at this point it appears that 2014 is a reprise of 2013. The average for Sept. 2013, according to NOAA, was 5.24 M Km2. This year the Sept. average is already at 5.16 with nine days of rising extent to go.
