Oh My God !
Thanks Neven!
If I have got this right,
In the top image I have deleted ice above about 1m thick, and deleted that from concentration map from 13 Aug 2008, and deleted ice above about 60& concentration from the thickness map on that day, and combined the two, filled deleted areas with sea blue -- as if areas below 1m and below 60% concentration are gone.
Ok, there is 3 weeks difference here, the 2008 image from August 13th, but I can't see anything like that happening in these combined maps for this year in 2015?
Does anyone think 2015 could look like that 2008 combined image I made, within 3 weeks or a month?
Wow.
I'll put the source images for the two 2008 images so that you can see why, when you take out ice below a metre, and ice under 60% concentration, and combine them, that is what you get.
