JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  22,187,904 KM2 as at 02-Sep-2020

- Extent loss on this day 75k, 71 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 4k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 5.47 million km2, 0.88 million km2, 13.8% less than the 10 year average gain of 6.35 million km2.
- Extent is at position #3 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  -0.12 million km2 LESS than 2019,
On average 69.9% of sea ice gain from minimum to maximum done, and 63 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 24.92 million km2, 1.16 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 fourth day. This is yet again due to an unusual Antarctic sea ice extent loss and an above average Arctic sea ice extent loss.

An extent loss when one might expect an extent gain continues the story of a somewhat chaotic year so far- global sea ice has pretty much ignored the timetable.

Yet another day with an extent loss instead of an extent gain - due to Antarctic sea ice xtent loss and zero Arctic sea ice extent gain. Extent down to 4th lowest from 5th lowest,

JAXA Global Sea Ice Extent - a bit more...

I attach the september monthly average of daily extent. Of interest is that from 2016 onwards the average has been very much the same. It seems that Acric and Antractic extent variations have more or less cancelled each other out.

Arctic sea ice gain slow, Antarctic sea ice extent loss low. Result? Global sea ice extent stays at 3rd lowest in the satellite record.

We are again more than 2 M km² below the 2000s average.

I checked JAXA and found that the last day of global sea ice extent higher than the 2000s average was December 3rd of 2015.

Quote from gerontocrat:

"N.B. In 2016 the maximum was reached on the 7th July. i.e. the November maximum was less than the “false” maximum."

I checked the JAXA graphs of the years from 1979 to 2019.
To have a higher July "false" maximum than the "real" maximum early November in 2020 global sea ice extent must not exceed 23.57 M km². This means an increase of max. 0.50 M km² from now on until November.
2016 kept below that threshold and became the first year with the annual maximum in July.
But there are several other years in which the increase from Oct 11 to the November maximum was smaller than 0.50 M km². That were 1980, 1981, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1996 and 2000.
Of course in those times much larger portions of the Arctic were already ice covered which are now still open waters. Therefore the increase rate in 2020 until November should be larger than in those years. Anyway, if Antarctic sea ice extent will lose much more than average until then it may be possible that 2020 follows 2016's example.

As you can see from table AA3 above, on this day 2017 global sea ice extent was 866k above 2020.
I only put record years and 10 year averages on the graphs to avoid clutter. Other people prefer to include all years for completeness.

Lower than average increases in the Arctic and at/above average losses in the Antarctic led to an slower increase in global sea ice extent.
Today the max. increase must stay below 0.35 M km². Both 1980s and 1990s average stayed below this threshhold. Therefore the probability that the "false" maximum in July finaly is the largest global sea ice extent in 2020 is rising.

A short check about the "maximum maximum" that should be expected early November:

To make 2020 have its maximum in July global sea ice extent (23.57 M km²) must not exceed an increase of 0.29 M km². From yesterday on this increase is not to expect anymore from a track like the 1980s and 1990s averages.
An increase of 0.29 M km² would be realised until October 24 (track of 2000s average) or October 23 (track of 2010s average), respectively. As a lot of open water exists in the Arctic it seems likely that 2020's global sea ice extent will increase by (far) more than 0.29 M km² until early November.
Two things must happen at the same time to avoid this:
1. A further very slow increase in the Arctic for at least two weeks.
2. A (much) higher decrease than average around Antarctica every day in the next two weeks.
If the 2020's curve manages to stay below 23.57 M km² until around Nov 10, then the strongly increasing seasonal losses around Antarctica will make up for a later and faster Arctic extent increase.
It is too late just to be concerned about Climate Change

The current projected maximum of 24.1 million km2 is 2nd lowest in the satellite record, and is entirely due to the record low Arctic sea ice extent

The false maximum was reached on the 28th June. Extent losses finished at the false minimum of early September. We are now in 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.

Antarctic sea ice melt still very slow.
Arctic sea ice extent ticked up, but well below average.

Global sea ice extent stays lowest for a 2nd day, 27 days in total for the year.

Extent gain yesterday 0.14 M km² up to 23.64 M km². Therefore the actual value is higher than the value measured on June 28 (23.57 M km²), which has been the highest value ("false maximum") so far this year.
It is too late just to be concerned about Climate Change

- Extent gain on this day 44k, 58 k more than the average LOSS on this day (of the last 10 years) of 14k,

- Extent is at position #4 in the satellite record

- 2020 Extent is  0.58 million km2 MORE than 2019,

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

We are beyond the average day of maximum - at which point the projection methodology fails.

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  25,038,301 KM2 as at 06-Nov-2020

- Extent gain on this day 13k, 41 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 28k,

- Extent is at position #4 in the satellite record

- 2020 Extent is  0.64 million km2 MORE than 2019,

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

We are 3 days beyond the average day of maximum - from which point the projection methodology fails.

Assuming that the 2020 maximum was reached on the 6th November at 25.038 million Km2, then

JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT:  25,025,748 KM2 as at 07-Nov-2020

- Extent loss on this day 13k, 8 k less than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 21k,
- Extent loss from maximum on this date is -0.01 million km2, 0.15 million km2, 92.5% less than the 10 year average gain of -0.17 million km2.
- Extent is at position #4 in the satellite record
- 2020 Extent is  0.60 million km2 MORE than 2019,
On average 1.8% of sea ice gain from maximum to minimum done, and 97 days to minimum

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

Average remaining sea ice gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a minimum in February 2021 of 16.19 million km2, 0.64 million km2 above the 2018 record low minimum of 15.55 million km2.
