NSIDC Daily Extent 9.310 million km2 an above average extent gain of 101 k by 31k, and 5th lowest in the satellite record. Extent is :-
- 0.045 million km2 > 2017
- 0.516 million km2 > 2012
- 0.122 million km2 > 2011
- 0.907 million km2 > 2016
- 0.082 million km2 greater than 2010's average (2010-2017).
Sea ice Extent catch-up complete, above average gain on this day (Laptev and Kara filling up), and also there on Area. Also, due to 5 day trailing average used for area, above average area gains but reducing must still be expected in the next few days.
