Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,187,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
In 2010 (green line) , despite smashing previous records, the sea ice tailed away to normal levels. And in 2013 (black line), sea ice went on to break 2012’s record and then broke it again and again until it peaked on Sep 30.
So I make no predictions.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,233,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. That is the 145th daily record for 2014.
Global Sea Ice Extent is 216,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Notice how much closer it is to the highest for the day than the lowest.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,239,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. That is the 144th daily record for 2014.
Global Sea Ice Extent is 215,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Still higher than any year (for day 222) since 2000. And 2,000,000 sq km higher than 2012.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,221,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. 143rd daily record.
Global Sea Ice Extent is 253,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Still higher than any year (for day 221) since 2000.
Global Sea Ice Extent is 288,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Still higher than any year (for day 217) since 2000.
These years had less global sea ice at the same day: 1985 1986 1990 1991 1993 1995 1997 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,274,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. That is the 142nd daily record for 2014.
Amazing climb has resumed. 180,000 sq km in last two days. 300,000 sq km above previous record for the same day in 2010.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,235,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. That is the 141st daily record for 2014.
