JAXA GLOBAL SEA ICE EXTENT: 18,728,308 KM2 as at 01-Jan-2021
- Extent loss on this day 127k, 8 k less than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 135k,
- Extent loss from maximum on this date is -6.46 million km2, 0.04 million km2 (1%) more than the 10 year average loss of -6.41 million km2.
- Extent is at position #6 in the satellite record of which 0 year(s) was in the years before 1996
On average 71.2% of sea ice loss from maximum to minimum done, and 42.5 days to minimum
Projections of the Unknown Quantity. (Table JAXA-AA1)
Average remaining sea ice loss (of the last 10 years) would produce a minimum in February 2021 of 16.14 million km2, 0.59 million km2 above the 2018 record low minimum of 15.55 million km2.
