Sadly downloaded .mp4 doesn't work on my widows 10 computer and "gspot" program https://www.videohelp.com/software/GSpot can't identify codec needed.
What players are those others using that get it to work?

It worked for me flawlessly in the browser (Google Chrome) on a Windows 10 machine.

I've taken the liberty of uploading it to YouTube (let me know if that's not okay with you, Wip):

Lots of people can see the animation within the forum, some have to download first and some have failed altogether.

On my Linux computer Chrome works fine but Firefox does not recognise the movie. I have uploaded a smaller animation that works fine here with both browsers.

Can people that had difficulties give it a try and report?

Hi Wipneus,
your short .mp4 test animation worked fine with both Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft edge under Windows 10.
I also tested the original post in Chrome. It worked fine, but it didn't play in either Firefox or Edge.
The problem clearly lies with Firefox / Edge.

After downloading the short test animation also played in most video players whereas the
original big .mp4 file didn't play in the same players  because its codec wan't recognized.

I hope this information is useful

Thanks to all that have tried and responded.

The positive feedbacks gives me confidence that I have nailed a big source of the incompatibility. In short: do not create mp4 files with an odd number of rows.

Cropping the image height from 695 to 694 gives the attached "big" animation:

works great on windows 7 chrome, windows 10 chrome, osx safari, osx mojave chrome and android 7.0 - 9.0 chrome browser, that's quite a lot of compatibilitiy IMO

Player  for .mp4
  "mpv"  It is supposed to work on Windows ( at least 7 and 10) 
https://mpv.io/installation/

For linux any distro should support.  It does not drag in "everything but the kitchen sink" like VLC. (which would make it smaller than VLC in Windows also.)  It has just worked for me for years. 

The video was definitely a keeper.  Mange tusen takk. (Many thousand thanks)

and thanks  longwalks1 for the "mpv" videoplayer tip.  The downloaded mp4s (either original or the latest one) all play fine with it.

Here are the volume and volume-anomaly graphs updated to 2018.

Hello Wipneus,
I’ve been using your PIOMAS daily arctic ice volume webpage as a dashboard and communication tool whenever the issue comes up in a conversation for the last 6 years. Thanks so much for that !
I’m not sure if it’s due to the government shutdown or just missing space for 2019, but your latest charts are missing this year’s data.
I noticed the polar science center seems to have the latest data, but since your charts are much easier to read, I thought I’d point that out.
Anyway, keep up the good work

PIOMAS has released the official volume data up to the end of January. Unfortunately not the daily gridded data that I use for the animation and some other graphs.

Attached are the volume and volume-anomaly graphs. I tried to do something quick about the "reds problem", still not ideal but looks to me a little better.  If someone knows a source with optimum distinguishing colors for a line-style graphic with 20 or so lines...

Here is the volume data presented in the same format as I use for the JAXA ice extent tables and graphs. Daily volume increases mostly above average in January, hence 6th lowest became 7th lowest.

I have not looked - projecting any time into the future, especially that far, using these chart tools is where madness lies. I just added the x2 polynomial to see if it suggested currently volume loss is on an accelerating trend.

What matters is what will change in the Arctic, how that will affect Arctic sea ice, and how that will in turn change the changes in the Arctic and so on........

Wipneus, using the colours in going around a 'colour wheel' provides a partial solution, at least for graphs with up to 12 colours.

Interpolating to intermediate colours in an attempt to increase the number of colours doesn't work as the shades become too difficult to distinguish.

However, you can reasonably double the number of colours by also including a corresponding wheel of darker colours, where the colour values have been reduced in approximate proportion from those in the original colour wheel.

Attached is my suggestion for RGB colour values when doing graphs with up to 24 colours.

... or how about dashed line(s) e.g 10 yr / 5y could be dashed ?   I wouldn't do last 5 dashed as they may be close.   Or earlier ones (pre 2000 / 2010 even) as faded colours / very fine lines.

PIOMAS has updated the official volume data. Unfortunately the ftp server with the detailed thickness data has not been serving me for some time now. I will look into that.

Here are the volume and volume-anomaly graphs.

Yes, they have moved to https :

old  ->  new
ftp://pscftp.apl.washington.edu/zhang/PIOMAS/data   ->
https://pscfiles.apl.uw.edu/zhang/PIOMAS/data


ftp is of course designed for automated computer data transfer, while https was designed for interactive browsing (with some incidentally downloading).

Looking at the required (wget) trickery to have the same level of automatisation as before.

Here is the volume data presented in the same format as I use for the JAXA ice extent tables and graphs. Still 7th lowest in the satellite record.
Note how the low volume gains at the end of the month seem to reflect the extent and area drops in the last week of February

PIOMAS has updated gridded thickness data. Volume calculated from this was 21.95 [1000km3] on the 15th of March. That would be the 7th lowest for the day.

Here is the animation of March until sofar.

Here is the volume data presented in the same format as I use for the JAXA ice extent tables and graphs. Still 7th lowest in the satellite record.

Mostly above average gain.

Thanks tons, as always, for these amazing graphs and maps.

To me, the decadal average graph tells the clearest big-picture story of the of where we've been and where we are going.

Is it possible for you to verify whether Fram export is thinner than previous years according to piomas?

Hi Uniquorn,

I have given this some thought and I'm wondering what it is you really want.

If volume export is less that can be because (not exclusive):

1. Ice thickness is less;
2. Ice thickness unchanged but concentration less.

Would calculating ice area export ( km2/month) answer your question?

Thank you Wipneus. That is exactly the question I should have asked. If it is not too much trouble Fram export area km2/month and volume km3/month over the past 10yrs would show if there is a recent trend. (Longer if you think it is interesting enough)
Obviously I will have to be careful interpreting the data.

Volume on 2019-03-31 was 22.218 [1000km3], fourth lowest for the day.

Here is the animation for March 2019.

Thanks, Wip. As for the volume graph, I find it hard to discern the 2019 trend line, because of the 2016 trend line (colours are too similar). But could be my eyes or monitor.

Thanks, Wip. As for the volume graph, I find it hard to discern the 2019 trend line, because of the 2016 trend line (colours are too similar). But could be my eyes or monitor.

Ack. That needs a fix.

Fram volume(!) export was about normal for the month of March. The normals are indicated by the grey line in the background and are harder to see when exports are higher.
