Wow, what's going on there!?

13 (out of 15 IIRC) swaths missing?

But then how do they come up with a total number? So this will probably be revised tomorrow?

Fill in the missing values with data from previous days. I don't actually know this, but it is soo obvious.

You never know. Perhaps they were lucky and the dip is real. After all the AMSR2 went down today a good bit as well with a much smaller hiatus in the data.

IJIS:

Still trailing behind 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

But only 36,666 km2 above 2010. And 1,576,246 km2 above 2012.

Fascinating, for the first time a decent description of "land expanded mask". It is now discontinued :(

Attached my amsr2 3.125 extent graph, collecting more and more spaghetti: now includes Jaxa/IJIS V2.

As can be seen my own Jaxa amsr2 calculation matches that of Jaxa/IJIS very well since the middle of June or so. In winter I calculate less ice, indicating that Jaxa/IJIS includes ice outside the 14 well known regions. For instance the Baltic area and perhaps the Great Lakes.

Good morning,

I'm not sure how the refined calculation method by Jaxa affects things re: the data - the same trends are there and we knew it was bad. We're never going to get zero ice cover in the Arctic - that isn't finely the point - but the fact that the figures are revised downard by some 10% on the former calculated minimum for 2012 might jolt some deniers into a greater level of concern as they see the inevitable consequences grow that much closer.

Average 1980’s one-day minimum: 7.286.634 km2 (Sep 11)
Average 1990’s one-day minimum: 6.592.674 (Sep 8th)
Average 2000’s one-day minimum: 5.481.450 (Sep 15)

2002: 5.229.571 km2 (Sep 8th)
2003: 5.933.760 (Sep 18)
2004: 5.683.663 (Sep 11)
2005: 5.179.300 (Sep 21)
2006: 5.625.046 (Sep 14)
2007: 4.067.486 (Sep 24)
2008: 4.500.623 (Sep 9)
2009: 5.054.055 (Sep 12)
2010: 4.622.092 (Sep 17)
2011: 4.269.199 (Sep 10)
2012: 3.177.455 (Sep 16)

2013: ? (current extent: 4.942.239 on Sep 5)

So we have 320k to go to beat 2010 (with its minimum on Sep 17).

We had 36k/day average loss over the past two weeks.

I don't know! In my calculation from L3 concentration data I don't include it (restricting to the 14 rregions) and get a good match in summer. In winter even if I include all the ice, I don't exactly get all the ice that Jaxa counted (are they still on 15% cutoff I wonder?)
Another matter is the averaging, I suspect the L3 data is averaged and so will the Jaxa/IJIS extent. The image you show is probably not averaged (as its updated live). Such phantom ice is often very variable, and maybe below the 15% in the average process.

Undoubtedly. There's a fire in the building and some are comparing the heat from the flames with a high-summer's day.

Maybe? kinda? Temps over most of the basin look too high.  They are low single digits over the main pack, but I suspect there is still too much energy that needs spilling for a durable freeze.

NSIDC and AMSR-II/Wipneus had small upticks two days ago, but further declines yesterday and today (so far).

So probably no real/lasting refreeze yet. But in the Arctic you never know :)

I just posted a blog post on the ASIB: Pinpointing the minimum

Quote
There's a high over the Beaufort Sea alright, but perhaps it is too big, reaching all the way to the Siberian coast. High-pressure systems make for clear skies, and with temperatures dropping, this causes sea water to release its heat so that it can freeze up. If sea water in the Siberian seas freezes up, sea ice extent won't be going any lower. The pressure gradient over the ice pack is also lower, which means less wind to compact the ice pack.

This makes me tend to say that the minimum could be reached by Saturday, September 14th, with the caveat that a big low coming in from the Atlantic might invigorate the pressure gradient, causing more compaction where the weakest part of the ice pack is situated.

Thanks, Neven, for this clear explanation of the most important processes determining arrival of the minimum.

NSiDC has another uptick today, so we may indeed be at or really close to this year's minimum.

Yes, the minimum could've been reached today (on IJIS). It all depends on how the ice reacts to that big high.

It looks like a refreeze now.

And September 12 2013 will be the low at 4,809,288 km2.

But it can easily change with these small changes and numbers.

Last year:

3319816 km2 (September 18, 2012), up 105k9  the first century of the 2012/2103 winter.

That looks interesting. Would there be some value in running this daily comparison for the remainder of 2013? Might it provide some insight into whether the fractured slushy CAB and overall cloudy arctic will slow the freeze? This kind of comparison might be even more valuable when comparing volume.

It would be more useful to compare 2013 refreeze with 2009 since you would be starting from roughly the same base. At the moment you would be comparing 2013 slush with 2012 open water and I suspect the slush will freeze faster.
