Espen....

I've done this before but would like to again thank you for your clear, simple and timely tracking of this measure.

With over 1 million views on this thread, I believe I am speaking for others. They're just too shy to say anything.   ;)

Yes, it is one of my first links I visit in the morning - every morning. Thank you.

Continuing the "thanks be to Espen" theme...

I've been stuffing these numbers into a spreadsheet for some time. Should I happen to be away for a few days, I find it much easier to flick through Espen's daily IJIS/JAXA/ADS images than it is to fart about with the .csv

Some psychologically interesting milestones using the IJIS/JAXA/ADS numbers will soon be upon us. Within the next week, the rolling 2-year average will go below 9.9 million sq kms. The lowest 2-year figure before now was 10.001 - this was basically 2011/2012. Prior to 2016/2017, the previous 1-year record was 9.915 million sq kms, which was clocked up in May 2013

In perhaps 10 days time, the rolling 5-year average will slide beneath 10.1 million sq kms. By comparison, prior to 2012, the record for a single 12-month period was 2011, which came in at 10.185 million sq kms.

This graph shows the IJIS figures so far this year as a standard deviation from the 2002-2016 mean. The red line shows the previous record standard deviation. As can be seen most of that record was set in 2016.

Am I being dim - are the scales reversed on the graph? 

Surely we were 3 sd below the mean in January.

P.S. ... and also - my thanks too Espen - the thread is a handy clock to watch - happy millionth view too !

SD are normally quoted as positive values. I reversed the maximum values when I  added them in,  to separate them.  I  guess I  could have done it the other way.

Conditions favourable to compaction in Barents persisting until the end of this week, followed by general cooling. Increasingly colder on Chuckchi and Bering in the next few days, with associated ice extension increase. Very cold over CAA and Beaufort for the next few days.

In this period I'm more interested in the effect of synoptic conditions in terms of ice surface temperature, rather than ice extension. As we've seen from Neven's PIOMAS outlook, IMHO the biggest issue is not just with ice extension but rather with volumes which are really terrible. Cold conditions over the arctic are vital to accumulate some more reserves with a view to the incoming melting season, much more than a few kmq of more extension in peripheral areas which will melt down at the first ray of sun.

The wind blowing(against export) around the N.E corner of Greenland is at about 1oC and heavy with H2O vapor. The same kind of wind, except warmer has pushed the ice back in the Svalbard area, dropping the extent there.

So no respite for the ice, too bad. I think Magnamentis was trying to make the same point a couple of posts back.

About Antarctica, let's hope it not.
Anyhow, 2.000.000 sq. Km it is just a number, a "psychological barrier". The fact is that this last year sea ice surrounding Antarctica has suffered. Despite the Global warming trend and the clear path in the Arctic it is "curious" those upsidedowns in Antarctica sea ice during these last years.
I do believe that sea and ocean currents are to blame, not sure though, but if they are changing the dynamic of the patterns in Barents (quite clear in the case of Svalbard) I think they are somehow doing the same with the sea ice around Antarctica, and probably some of their shelves too

Antarctica is cooling quite fast now and both Vostok and Dome Fuji had below -50oC last night. Most of the remaining ice is solid except for a small area in the Amundsen Sea. If anything spectacular is going to happen with SIE numbers, then that ice pack needs to go away before refreezing really starts.

It would certainly be worth keeping track of the current maximum level with each post.

For the record, this is 13,371,617km2 on Feb 10th.

Never say never, but this is only the second downward trend this February we usually have a few more ups and downs before the maximum.

Nope, no minimum, not even close to! The next couple of days we will likely see northerly winds through Svalbard/FJL and Berings Strait. This will most likely increase the SIE and push the ice edge further south.

Minimum? well we're in all kinds of trouble with the ice this year but a min this early can't be one of them!

The problem with low ice numbers is there is plenty of room for expansion even if ice growth has ended. I'm sure we could stop growing ice today yet still see 500,000 added to the pack over the next 4 weeks before the inevitable crash as the ice went below 15% on the peripheries!

It looks like the ice really struggled to get anywhere during February of last year, just looking at the graph. Unless the current trend continues for the rest of the month, it seems probable that 2017 will lose the lowest spot - for a bit at least.

Everything is possible, but I doubt it. It's going to get mighty cold on the Pacific side of the Arctic next week.

That's nice and clear but might need a further  explanatory note to readers of the Daily Mail that are coming here now.

Could you also do another graph with just the 4 dotted line average plots (including the rolling  average of the current decade and extend the y axis down to zero? Any time between now and September will do.  :)

Nearly there Jim. :)

Could you remove the 2017 plot. The several reasons for this would several. Firstly it's handy for people who don't have access to a colour printer. Secondly it provides absolute clarity about the trend itself  and finally it might help a little to stop people worrying about these figures on a daily basis.

It also takes quite a while for the unscientifically minded to process the volume of information this forum presents when first arriving here.  Some people (of whatever age) need a clear and basic explanation in the title of the graph.
