Global Sea Ice Extent Minimum – Day 37- 2019

Published on by sunshinehours11 Comment

Yesterday I did the Antarctic Minimum. I should have done Global first because it occurred on day 37. 2019 is the 6th lowest and 2nd earliest. (However global is fluctuating enough that it might set a lower minimum)

Antarctic Minimum Approaching – Day 49 – 2019

Published on by sunshinehours12 Comments

UPDATE: The post was premature. It may be day 59.

Antarctic minimum is approaching (or may have occurred) 2017 and 2018 were lowest minimums. 2019 is 10th lowest (although that may change a bit).

That kind of oscillation is “normal” and getting larger. The oscillation graph is just Day 49 but thats close to the normal day of min.
