Meanwhile in the Arctic a serious gap opens with 2015 losing 500k km2 in 2 days while 2014 holds steady.
Day 148, May 28 results from MASIE. A large swing with 2014 gaining while 2015 showed extensive melting.
2014 gained 64k on this day while 2015 lost another 250k dropping to its new low at 11.75M km2. The loss is at 19.2% from NH max on day 93. 2014 lead jumps to 5.3%, which is about 652k km2 difference.

It is an El Nino on the West Coast. Is the sea ice supposed to be increasing during El Ninos?
Good question.
I find this very interesting. Bearing sea ice is low when the ODO is high and sea IEC is high when it is low.
Can you chart it Bruce.

Day 149 MASIE adds to the gap. For context, we can say 2015 melt is 12 days ahead of 2014.
