PIOMAS Volume as at 15th July 2019 8,768 km3
The standard graphs and tables as I use for the JAXA extent data are attached.
In June 2019 volume did not take not so much a tumble as crashed and burned..
In the first 15 days of July volume loss was mostly above average, but less so than in June.
2019 volume continues lowest in the satellite record
- less than 2017 by 279 km3,
- less than 2012 by 430 km3,
- less than 2016 by 1,510 km3,
- less than 2018 by 1,425 km3,
It is data that seems to back up numerous observations in the melting thread regarding the condition of the ice - e.g.s highly mobile, fractured, disintegrating, rubble, dispersed.
At average volume loss for the rest of the season, minimum volume would be a bit above 3,300 km3, more than 300 km3 below the current record minimum of 2012, and more than 16500 km3 below the 2010's average minimum of nearly 5,000 km3.
