JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  23,489,297 KM2 as at 24-Jun-2020

An above average daily Arctic sea ice extent loss + a below average daily Antarctic sea ice gain = a Global Sea Ice extent loss on this day.

- Extent gain LOSS on this day 34k, 36 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 2k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 6.77 million km2, 0.74 million km2, 9.8% less than the 10 year average gain of 7.51 million km2.
- Extent is at position #5 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  0.79 million km2 MORE than 2019,

On average 82.1% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 133 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 25.12 million km2, 1.36 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.
However, before that there is also the false maximum rapidly approaching in late June or early July, followed by the false minimum in August/September before the “maximum maximum” for the year.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  23,450,202 KM2 as at 25-Jun-2020

An above average daily Arctic sea ice extent loss + a below average daily Antarctic sea ice gain = a Global Sea Ice extent loss for a second day.

- Extent gain LOSS on this day 39k, 55 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 16k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 6.73 million km2, 0.79 million km2, 10.5% less than the 10 year average gain of 7.52 million km2.
- Extent is at position #5 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  0.70 million km2 MORE than 2019,

On average 82.3% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 132 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 25.07 million km2, 1.31 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.
However, before that there is also the false maximum rapidly approaching in late June – i.e. NOW, or early July, followed by the false minimum in August/September before the “maximum maximum” for the year.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  23,497,405 KM2 as at 29-Jun-2020

An above average daily Arctic sea ice extent loss + a below average daily Antarctic sea ice gain = a LARGE Global Sea Ice extent loss on this day.

As a result we may have already reached the false maximum of late June  or early July, followed by up to 2 months or more of extent losses up to the false minimum in August/September. After that is the late run of extent  gains to  the “maximum maximum” for the year in late October/early November.

- 2020 Extent is  0.73 million km2 MORE than 2019,

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  23,403,485 KM2 as at 30-Jun-2020

Given 2 days of very high extent LOSSES, the chance that we have already reached the false maximum of late June  or early July are significantly increased. Next will be up to 2 months or more of extent losses up to the false minimum in August/September. After that is the late run of extent  gains to  the “maximum maximum” for the year in late October/early November.

- Extent loss on this day 94k, 94 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 0k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 6.68 million km2, 0.87 million km2, 11.5% less than the 10 year average gain of 7.55 million km2.

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 25.01 million km2, 1.25 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT: June Monthly Average 23.145 million km2.

This is 976k more than the 2019 average of 23.169 million km2.
But this is 289k less than the linear trend, more than 5 years annual trend reduction. R2 value is a somewhat less than impressive 0.50, reflecting the more or less random (or unknown) nature of long-term annual changes in Antarctic sea ice extent.

GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT PLUME - showing projections to the maximum using remaining sea ice extent gain for the last 10 years. Perhaps a lesson in the futility of predicting the maximum, given the 2.5 million range of outcomes?

I compared the actual JAXA sea ice extent of July 1, 2020 with the averages of the past decades.
In the Arctic the same value was achieved on average in the
2010s:   4.7. (+   3 d later)
2000s: 13.7. (+ 12 d later)
1990s: 22.7. (+ 21 d later)
1980s:   1.8. (+ 31 d later)
In the Antarctic the same value was achieved on average in the
2010s: 27.6. (+ 4 d earlier)
2000s: 25.6. (+ 6 d earlier)
1990s: 28.6. (+ 3 d earlier)
1980s: 29.6. (+ 2 d earlier)
Summarized this means more insolation in the Arctic respectively more freezing heat to be released around Antarctica in comparison to the earlier decades:
2010s:   +   7 days
2000s:   + 18 days
1990s:   + 24 days
1980s:   + 33 days,
where the changes are large in the Arctic and probably negligible in the seas around Antarctica.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  23,268,020 KM2 as at 06-Jul-2020

We have probably past the false maximum of late June  or early July, especially after the extreme extent loss on this day. However, note how 2019 flattered to deceive.
We should see  up to 2 months or more of extent losses up to the false minimum in August/September. After that is the late run of extent  gains to  the “maximum maximum” for the year in late October/early November.

___________________________________________________
- Extent loss on this day 137k, 147 k different from the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 10k (after this day consistent average extent losses for some time),
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 6.55 million km2, 0.99 million km2, 13.2% less than the 10 year average gain of 7.54 million km2.
- Extent is at position #4 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  0.53 million km2 MORE than 2019,
On average 82.2% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 121 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 24.90 million km2, 1.14 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  23,158,084 KM2 as at 07-Jul-2020

A 2nd day of very high Arctic extent loss and low Antarctic extent gain makes it almost a certainty that the false maximum was reached on the 28th June. Now follows up to 2 months or more of extent losses up to the false minimum in August/September. After that is the late run of extent  gains to  the “maximum maximum” for the year in late October/early November.
___________________________________________________
- Extent loss on this day 110k, 102 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 8k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 6.44 million km2, 1.10 million km2, 14.6% less than the 10 year average gain of 7.54 million km2.
- Extent is at position #4 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  0.46 million km2 MORE than 2019,
On average 82.1% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 120 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 24.80 million km2, 1.04 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.
___________________________________________________
N.B. In 2016 the maximum was reached on this day – the 7th July. i.e. the November maximum was less than the “false” maximum.

For the first time this year 2020 is the lowest on record (according to JAXA). All values in M km². The "top four list" is:
2020 - 22.68
2017 - 22.70
2019 - 22.79
2011 - 22.84
The huge drop of 184.000 km² in the Arctic and a slightly less than average increase around Antarctica of 70.000 km² made that possible.

An evaluation like I did on July 14 (reply #811) is no longer possible. The massive losses in the Arctic now created a sea ice extent which is lower than the average 1980s minimum early September.  :-[

Yet another day of very high Arctic extent loss and low Antarctic ice extent gain.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  22,555,201 KM2 as at 15-Jul-2020

- Extent loss on this day 126k, 109 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 17k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 5.84 million km2, 1.45 million km2, 19.9% less than the 10 year average gain of 7.28 million km2.
- Extent is at position #1 in the satellite record for a second day this year,

On average 79.7% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 112 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 24.41 million km2, 0.65 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.

It has taken a lot of time and energy, successes and failures to build a library of spreadsheets and data sources. So it is a bit annoying to think people have to wade through a load of clutter to reach the data.

This is a data thread. So, please please please bring data or a new way of looking at the data (when discussion is great).

Ok, i was aware but remember him to say recently that one brief excursion in direct reply would be ok, nevertheless i'm fine with removal or moving to appropriate thread if that's how it has to be.

<These days of high readership one brief excursion becomes a long diversion, so best to avoid completely. Thanks for the understanding. I often don't find proper destinations, so some I just remove. O>

For the first time since Oct 26, 2019 the difference between the actual value and the 2000s average exceeds 2.3 M km². A massive loss yesterday in the Arctic and a constant value in the Antarctic increased that difference. 2020 is still #1 in the list.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  22,407,832 KM2 as at 16-Jul-2020

- Extent loss on this day 147k, 133 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 14k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 5.69 million km2, 1.57 million km2, 21.7% less than the 10 year average gain of 7.26 million km2.
- Extent is at position #1 in the satellite record for the 3rd day,
- 2020 Extent is  -0.57 million km2 LESS than 2019,
On average 79.5% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 111 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 24.28 million km2, 0.52 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.
___________________________________________________
The false maximum was reached on the 28th June. We are now in up to 2 months or more of extent losses up to the false minimum in August/September. After that is the late run of extent  gains to  the “maximum maximum” for the year in late October/early November.

N.B. In 2016 the maximum was reached on the 7th July. i.e. the November maximum was less than the “false” maximum.
___________________________________________________
In the last few days above average Arctic sea ice extent losses and mostly below average Antarctic sea ice gains have resulted in very large Global sea ice reduction.

I attach the July Monthly Average of JAXA Global sea ice extent.

At 22.656 million km2, it is just 12k above the record low of 2019, and 898k above 2016. However, by the end of August 2016 has started to crash towards its record low maximum in November.

First postings using my shiny new computer thanks to a lot of people on the ASIF.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  22,691,401 KM2 as at 14-Aug-2020

- Extent gain on this day 19k, 18 k more than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 1k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 5.97 million km2, 0.75 million km2, 11.2% less than the 10 year average gain of 6.72 million km2.
- Extent is at position #6 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  0.63 million km2 MORE than 2019,
On average 73.7% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 82 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 25.08 million km2, 1.32 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.
___________________________________________________
The false maximum was reached on the 28th June. We should now be in up to 2 months or more of extent losses up to the false minimum in August/September. After that is the late run of extent  gains to  the “maximum maximum” for the year in late October/early November.

N.B. In 2016 the maximum was reached on the 7th July. i.e. the November maximum was less than the “false” maximum.
___________________________________________________
We are supposed to be well within the temporary period of extent losses, but since late July more above than below Antarctic sea ice gains, and very low Arctic sea ice losses has reversed this. As a result extent has risen, and extent has dropped from lowest in the satellite record to 6th lowest in the last week.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  22,389,388 KM2 as at 19-Aug-2020

- Extent loss on this day 64k, 29 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 35k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 5.67 million km2, 0.91 million km2, 13.8% less than the 10 year average gain of 6.58 million km2.
- Extent is at position #5 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  0.42 million km2 MORE than 2019,
On average 72.0% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 77 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 24.94 million km2, 1.18 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.
___________________________________________________
The false maximum was reached on the 28th June. We should now be in up to 2 months or more of extent losses up to the false minimum in August/September. After that is the late run of extent  gains to  the “maximum maximum” for the year in late October/early November.

N.B. In 2016 the maximum was reached on the 7th July. i.e. the November maximum was less than the “false” maximum.
___________________________________________________
We are supposed to be well within the temporary period of extent losses, but since late July more above than below Antarctic sea ice gains, and very low Arctic sea ice losses reversed this up to the 14th August.. In 4 of the last 5 days extent losses have resumed due mainly to resumed high Arctic sea ice extent losses. Extent remains at 5th lowest in the satellite record.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  22,305,764 KM2 as at 21-Aug-2020

- Extent loss on this day 75k, 77 k different from the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 2k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 5.59 million km2, 0.96 million km2, 14.6% less than the 10 year average gain of 6.54 million km2.
- Extent is at position #4 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  0.30 million km2 MORE than 2019,
On average 71.8% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 75 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 24.87 million km2, 1.11 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.

JAXA Global Sea Ice Extent - a bit more

I show the graph of extent for the whole year to show better where we are in the procession to the Oct/Nov maximum.

Also attached is the plume of projected outcomes for the maximum from the last 10 years remaining extent gains. You can see clearly when 2016 becomes the outlier.

Also attached is the August Monthly Averages graph. Although the 2020 avearge is well above that of 2019, at 22.43 million km2, extent is 375k below the linear trend value, equivalent to more than 4 years of annual extent reduction.

- Extent loss on this day 102k, 81 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 21k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 5.54 million km2, 0.80 million km2, 12.6% less than the 10 year average gain of 6.35 million km2.
- Extent is at position #3 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  -0.03 million km2 LESS than 2019,
On average 69.9% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 64 days to maximum

Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in November 2020 of 24.99 million km2, 1.23 million km2 above the 2016 record low maximum of 23.76 million km2.
___________________________________________________
The false maximum was reached on the 28th June. We are now almost at the end of extent losses up to the false minimum of (on average)  early September. After that is the late run of extent  gains to  the “maximum maximum” for the year in late October/early November.

N.B. In 2016 the maximum was reached on the 7th July. i.e. the November maximum was less than the “false” maximum.
___________________________________________________
After a long period of extent gains in contrast to nomal extent losses, on this day an above average extent loss for a third day. This is again due to an unusual Antarctic sea ice extent loss and an above average Arctic sea ice extent loss.

As a result Global Sea Ice Extent is now 3rd lowest in the satellite record, 4th on the previous day.
