Sea Ice Extent (Global Antarctic and Arctic) – Day 88 – 2016

Global Sea Ice is inside the one standard deviation mark.

Antarctic Sea Ice is approaching the above one standard mean mark.

I’m pretty sure Arctic Sea Ice no longer has any chance of changing the maximum for 2016 and therefore will set the record for lowest maximum (NSIDC) by about 20,000 sq km (MASIE disagrees).
