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

Published on March 29, 2016March 29, 2016 by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

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).

Arctic Sea Ice Extent Update – Record Low Maximum?

Published on March 24, 2016March 24, 2016 by sunshinehours12 Comments

There have been many online articles predicting Arctic Sea Ice doom in the last week.

My favorite quote is: “Scientists warn that the area covered by this winter’s Arctic sea ice could turn out to be the lowest ever measured.”

Total nonsense. In fact, as of day 83 Arctic Sea Ice extent is higher than it was in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2015.

The record that may be set (maybe not since there is still a week or so to go before day 90 which is the latest maximum) is lowest maximum.

The record may be broken by 20,000 sq km. Out of 14,000,000 sq km. 0.14%

And MASIE (a different method) has 2016’s maximum 400,000 sq km HIGHER than 2006. (MASIE only goes back to 2006)
