This is the gain/loss up to day 144. Negative = loss. Sorted with biggest loser in last 7 days at top. Northern Hemisphere is the grand total.

I’ve added a “NH (Average Loss per Day)” line to the bottom of the table.  The interesting figure is that even though a lot of ice melted over the last 1 day, very little melted over the last 3 days: -7,232/day
