Global Sea Ice Extent Aug 13 2014 – 144,000 sq km Above Normal
Global Sea Ice Extent is 144,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. 2,100,000 sq km than 2012.
Arctic Sea Ice Extent – Aug 13 2014
Arctic Sea Ice Extent is -1,043,000 sq km below the 1981-2010 mean.
Drifting very slowly away from the standard deviation mark. It is now 300,000 sq km below. A few days ago it was 220,000. But, to be fair, 2 weeks ago it was 500,000 below.
The data is for day 224. Day 245 was the earliest minimum ever. Day 265 was the latest. So 3 to 6 weeks more melting.
Arctic Sea Ice Extent – Aug 12 2014
Arctic Sea Ice Extent is -1,017,000 sq km below the 1981-2010 mean.
Global Sea Ice Extent Aug 12 2014 – 216,000 sq km Above Normal
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.
Arctic Sea Ice Extent – Aug 11 2014
Arctic Sea Ice Extent is -1,025,000 sq km below the 1981-2010 mean.
Global Sea Ice Extent Aug 11 2014 – 215,000 sq km Above Normal
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.
