UPDATE: Antarctic and Arctic has been published. MASIE is still one day behind.
There have been no updates to NSIDC/NOAA Antarctic Sea Ice Extent for three days. Arctic Data is late for today. And MASIE did update their data, but it is one day older than it should be.
Data is usually found here and here and here.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,136,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. That is the 134th daily record for the year.
The lowest extent for this day was 16.2 million sq km in 1985. In 2014 it is 18.1 million sq km. A 1.9 million sq km difference.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,110,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. That is the 133rd daily record for the year.
An interesting note: Both 2013 (black line) and 2012 (orange line) set all time maximum records … yet were 900,000 sq km apart at this day.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,096,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,107,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
After dropping 90,000 sq km two days ago, ice extent rose 100,000 sq km the next day.
131 daily records in 2014. And 209 out of 209 in the top 5.

Update: Arctic/Antarctic have appeared. MASIE is still one day old.
Normally the NSIDC Sea Ice Data is posted on their site at 6:51am Pacific Time.
Some days it is late or isn’t updated until the next day.
The MASIE data gets updated about 7:17am Pacific. It was updated … but it the previous days data.
July 28 2014 – Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,072,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
A drop today. But that isn’t unusual. 2013 (black line) went up and down all the way to an all-time record.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,214,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
On Day 206 of 2014, Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,128,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
It is also 1,800,000 sq km higher than the low for day 206 back in 1983.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,131,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
That obliterates the previous daily record by 500,000 sq km. And is also the 127th daily record for the year.
