MASIE Arctic Aug 6 2014 – Steady Melting

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

Aug 8 2014  MASIE Update – Steady Melting … but the Central Arctic is barely changing. In fact it is actually 4,463 sq km higher than it was 14 days ago.

NOTE: NSIDC/MASIE data for day 215 was missing (I assume for the same reason NSIDC data stopped being updated) and NSIDC were quick to fix it.
