Day 312: In the last day MASIE extent grew by 134,000 Km2 to 10.02 M Km2 or 65% of last March max.
Three regions have recovered to 100% of March max: Beaufort, Laptev, Canadian Archipelago. Central Arctic is close.
Regions exceeding the NH ice extent average:
Central Arctic is at 99.6% of the max last March
Laptev has grown to 100%
Canadian Archipelago is now at 100%
Beaufort Sea is up to 100%
East Siberian Sea is at 91%
Kara has grown to 88%,
Chukchi has grown to 66%,
Greenland Sea is at 62%
Other regions starting to add ice:
Barents Sea 51%
Baffin Bay 19%
Hudson Bay 19%
Bering Sea 5%
The Sun is in the southern hemisphere and the Flux is at 132; just enough to accelerate melting in Antarctica. Also, Solar Cycle 24 has been “warming” for 3 years now.
The DMI value, at this time of year, is about 2-3 weeks behind any large Solar EUV excursions.
Expect the Arctic to accelerate its ice production [cold] as the Flux declines. When the Flux gets to 100, get your woolies ready.

Also the drop in Arctic temps (DMI) may be an artifact, or both are. Something ain’t right
