[Stephan]

I added the monthly extent value for October 2021 into my long-term plot where I calculate the extent anomalies from 1979 up to now.
The average (1979-2021) October extent is now 7.89 M km². October 2021 had an average extent of 6.77 M km², which is 1.12 M km² less than that long-term average.
This month the value is back again above the long-term linear trend line. The difference of the actual month from that trend line is +0,08 M km² (calculated from the linear trend line this October should have been at 6.69 M km²).
The slope of the long-term linear trend line has stayed stable since August 2021 (-0.0551).

Well done, Gero.

Hope to have you here in the next melting season (or before that...).
I know that we have this Forum and these subjects in our blood. So it is great to have a break, but the true, we have to come back when the action starts...

[Pagophilus]

Wishing you well, Gerontocrat!

Some regional extent graphs using NSIDC 5-day averages:

- Chukchi and Bering have very high extent, currently even above the 1980s average.
- Kara and Barents rather high compared to recent years.
- Hudson and Baffin are lagging.
