Antarctic Sea Ice AREA – Day ??? – Cryosphere is broken

Update: Back up … but data is still from day 264.

Antarctic Sea Ice Area Data is here normally.

But for the last two days the Cryosphere website has been unreachable.

Maybe someone didn’t like all those all-time records? (Just kidding)

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Sep 26 2014 – 1,340,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Data for Day 268. Data here.

520,000 sq km Above Old Daily Record.

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Sep 25 2014 – 1,362,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Data for Day 267. Data here.

13th Day Above the 2013 Record. 184th Daily Record.

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Sep 24 2014 – 1,392,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Data for Day 266. Data here.

Extent spent 6 days above 20,000,000 sq km. It is now the 12th day above the 2013 record.

Antarctic Sea Ice Area shrunk around 38,000 sq km (difference between Area/Extent here). Data for Area here.

9th day above the old 2007 record. 5th highest ever.

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Sep 23 2014 – 1,471,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Data for Day 265. Data here.

Only a 7,500 sq km drop. Maybe one more surprise? In 2013 a new record was set on day 273 which is still a week away.

Antarctic Sea Ice Area maximum has probably occurred 2 days ago (difference between Area/Extent here)

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Sep 22 2014 – 1,488,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Data for Day 264. Data here.

Extent has also taken a downwards turn (as has Area). There will be no “10th all-time record in 10 days” this year (unless it gets really weird).

But 2014 will hold the record for most days over 20 million because 2014 is the only year it has ever happened.

Antarctic Sea Ice Area has stopped skyrocketing (difference between Area/Extent here)

One day is hardly a trend, but the peak may have occurred.

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Sep 21 2014 – 1,550,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Data for Day 263. Data here.

9th All-Time Record in 9 Days. But only a 15,000 sq km gain. But still 4 standard deviations above the mean.
