If I'm not mistaken, this is essentially what Hansen has predicted - short-term global cooling as a result of global warming, thanks to melting Greenland. Predictions Implicit in “Ice Melt” Paper and Global Implications:

Yes, but localized, and primarily a driver of extreme weather.  Elsewhere, things will still be a hot house.
Yes.  Not global.  edit   And, the cooling of the Southern ocean's surface is not so helpful as it might appear since "Antarctic freshwater-induced regional surface cooling yields amplifying feedbacks that melt ice shelves, which is the principal route to increased Antarctic ice sheet mass loss."   (sorry for the tangent - thought it was important to point that out)
I think what Hansen's study misses is what's implicit if the anomalies he projects are realized. The 2080-2100 image is more dramatic and, IMO, the departures it shows would be sufficient to allow ice sheets to begin regrowing across NRN Europe and NRN North America (which is not mentioned in his papers).

Perhaps the ensuing albedo feedback this causes in summer escalates/is amplified by +GHG and triggers runaway cooling as more and more solar energy is reflected at latitudes where insolation is much greater than in the Arctic? Additional water vapor could also allow much deeper wintertime snows in polar regions, also buffering against melt (and aiding freshwater input into oceanic current shutdown). This may explain why there are seemingly so few or very brief instances of an open Arctic Ocean in recent history; it would seem another series of feedbacks we do not yet fully understand kicks in once that happens.
Please show why you think that.  What research might lead you to disregard Hansen's work?
   ( probably needs moved to another thread )

(Neven - Please, move this to a more appropriate place?   Thank You)

While this belongs to another thread, just wanted to throw in that Heinrich/Bond events are basically the same negative feedback - as the melting glaciers/ice sheets temporarily overwhelm the warming climate. But this is feedback of the worst sort, that increases volatility rather than subduing it.

Ice sheets? Nonsense. That's a HUGE stretch.  Actually it's not a stretch; energetically, its unreachable.  The forcing from CO2 is already too high, the increased albedo from open arctic water will provide far and away additional capture heat to render it impossible.  Very functionally, the ice sheets grew in part because there was an Arctic ice pack to aid in bouncing heat back out of the hemisphere.  I think you are absurdly overestimating the effect of the feedback from Greenland melt.

What you don't know about could be anything.

Obviously, questioning a lifetime of diligent work - with nothing to substantiate those ideas as more than fantasy.  That is disregarding the work. 

And too. Twisting the data (you used the term tweaking) in this case IS unreasonable, spurious, nonsense.  The exact sort of disinformation-duck that looks, walks, quacks, like a troll.

When (not if) the day comes when melting Arctic ice no longer removes heat from the Northern Hemisphere in August

Definitely my #1 concern.  And....as expressed by some of the scientists on this site, it takes a lot more energy to melt ice...than it does to warm water or atmosphere.  So when the ice is gone....seems like things would have to speed up :o.
I want to get off this train: imagine 7 billion people saying that!

Why does it take more energy to melt ice than heat water or the atmosphere btw?

abbotisgone - It's not actually true that it takes more energy to melt ice than to warm water, it's just the effect is so much more evident on water than ice.
The energy required to phase change the water molecules from a solid to a liquid is surprisingly large (and this energy is released when the water changes back to ice). The same amount of energy to melt ice into water will heat water from 0C to 80C.

What happens when the ice is gone and this energy gets into the atmosphere is anyone's guess....just as long as that guess includes some pretty nasty consequences.

A plea - one of the great things about this thread has been that you can quickly check back through Espen's excellent daily graphs with only a few comments between them. That and the DMI 80º & regional graphs are the basic kit of parts to know what's going on in Arctic sea ice. Now as the temperatures rise it is flooded with spurious posts which belong in other threads (or nowhere). Can we get back to this being an IJIS thread.

Alright I'm grumpy!

IJIS:

12,144,447 km2(May 3, 2016)

Average loss from this point to minimum for 2007-2015 is about 8.44 million KM2.

At this level, the weather will have to push back pretty hard to prevent this year's melt from passing 2007 and 2011.  It will take very little of a nudge (about 550,000 past average) for it to pass 2012.

If we were to imagine where the 2010s average were to be then perhaps this slowing down of the melt doesn't look too out of place about now...

Currently over 500k below last year, and 816k below 2012.

We could stop melting completely and remain lowest on record until the 11th

DMI shows large losses beginning on the Atlantic side over next few days. This ice was spread out from the main pack and has largely been reduced to slush over past few weeks, and I imagine it will go fairly quickly.

Combined with losses in Bering/Okhotsk/Beaufort/Baffin/Labrador, we could see a few century days over the next week, IMO.

..yeh, I follow what you are saying.

I'm simply trying to test the real time results with a conservative point of view. For example, 2012 can be thought of as a statistical anomaly. Likewise so can 2015 especially given the years before it.

Then we have to add in the existence of el nino ...

My comments weren't a response to yours or tying to contradict you. I was just posting some stuff that seems interesting.

As for slowing down, it certainly has, but I suppose it's relative. Now we did have a 5 day average loss of 75k/day from the 26th to the 1st, and the latest 5 day average is 53k/day. However,  the average daily loss from 2003 to 2015 over the last 5 days is about 48k/day, so we're still losing ice at a fast rate, despite lots of variability in the day to day melt.

From 2003  there are only about  5 days with gains in May and only about 15 with losses less than 10K. This is a time of consistent losses. So  the idea of even five days of minimal growth is unlikely. But as Neven says this is the Arctic and anything is possible in the short term.

Let's not spend too much time discussing the losses of one or two individual days. When you look at the losses of the past four days, there were two days well above average and two days well below average for this time of year.  The end result is an average loss of just more than 53K Km2.  The average loss during the first ten days of may is just over 52K Km2.  Therefore, nothing spectacular yet, although I expect some larger than average losses within the next week.

Below is the type of losses that have previously occurred in May.

what is spectacular is the level on which these average losses happen. i mean the less ice there is to start with (the more retreaded up north it is) the more out of the ordinary even an average loss has to be seen IMO

I agree.  I'm no expert, but I would expect this year's rate of loss to be below average because presumably there is less easy ice there to melt.

April's loss on IJIS was the sixth largest since 2003 and the 5th largest as a percentage of the starting extent. As a percentage it was the largest variation from the trend based on initial starting extent.

Looking at CCI forecast for next week (big losses in Beaufort & Chukchi (& Okhotsk & Hudson Bay)) would expect it to be below 11.5 in a week's time (May 13 figure).

Could be.  Certainly on pace for 10.3 - 10.7 by end of May.

June and July are when the "steepness" of the trend are at the highest.....and the warm winter, combined with the still warm spring certainly have the ice "prepared" for a nasty fall (depending on wind, currents, and storms in June - August.

10.0 or less by the end of May is not impossible, it only needs an average daily drop of 40,000 km2?

Well, to fall below 10.0 by the end of May would take about 80k per day (79,455. to be precise). At any rate, while it's not impossible, iit would be extraordinary. Were the rest of the month to follow the trajectory of any other year on record, 2016 would still end up several hundred thousand square miles above 10 million. My guess is that we're still about five weeks away from falling below that mark...meaning that 2016 should see that around the second week of June.

Anyway, to show how unusual 2016 has been:

June and July are when the "steepness" of the trend are at the highest.....and the warm winter, combined with the still warm spring certainly have the ice "prepared" for a nasty fall (depending on wind, currents, and storms in June - August.

10.0 or less by the end of May is not impossible, it only needs an average daily drop of 40,000 km2?

Well, to fall below 10.0 by the end of May would take about 80k per day (79,455. to be precise). At any rate, while it's not impossible, iit would be extraordinary. Were the rest of the month to follow the trajectory of any other year on record, 2016 would still end up several hundred thousand square miles above 10 million. My guess is that we're still about five weeks away from falling below that mark...meaning that 2016 should see that around the second week of June.

Anyway, to show how unusual 2016 has been:

Not sure where I got this but,... it's a time series of ice extent measured in standard deviations!

Pretty cool but as it's average is from a pre 1979 era I would say it wouldn't capture the public attention,... Which is what is needed as the people lead and governments follow-according to mr Schwartz and ham and egg and burger  ;D  :o :o :o   8)

Historically IJIS declines from now to  Jun 1st  give four years above the old record of 10.84. Four years are between 10.25 and 10.5 and the other 5 years are in between.  With a trend to larger declines in May, 10.1 and 11.1 appear equally likely (or unlikely).

This is where it may start to get interesting.....and where we may get a little more "seperation" from the pack.  The fundamentals are in place to do that:

1) we've had a record setting warm 4 months in Alaska.....that has NOT been good for the ice in the Beaufort
2) we have continued warmth in the Arctic.....running about 2.5 - 4.0 C above normal
3) we have an Atlantic side that continues to show weakness
4) we have a Beaufort that is breaking up in chunks.....no doubt in part because of the heat indicated by #1above

This is where the ice may start to slowly show more seperation from prior years....setting itself up for its summer plunge to record lows.... :-[

11,912,579 km2(May 7, 2016) - 11,782,166km2(May 8, 2016) = 130,413 km2 Century break!!!
Which is the best answer to Sep-2012 ASI lost (compared to 1979-2000)?
50% [NSIDC Extent] or
73% [PIOMAS Volume]

Volume is harder to measure than extent, but 3-dimensional space is real, 2D's hide ~50% thickness gone.
-> IPCC/NSIDC trends [based on extent] underestimate the real speed of ASI lost.

IJIS:

11,782,166 km2(May 8, 2016)

Largest one-day drops of JAXA/IJIS extent in spring melting season, start to current calendar date (2003-2016)

1. 154,512 April 10, 2004
2. 132,772 April 25, 2013
3. 130,413 May 8, 2016
4. 129,382 April 11, 2004
5. 127,666 April 12, 2004

If not due to a sensor or processing glitch, the April 10 to April 14 2004 ice extent drop must have been a remarkable event, losing 583,000 km2 in five days. I assume that it was a large-scale wind and/or current ice compaction event rather than melting.

I just looked all around the periphery on EOSDIS.

To my eyes, all of this loss is melting.

The land to the south of those few areas that aren't yet melting (ESS, Laptev & Kara) appears to be thawing out quickly. These are the only remaining areas which are not yet swirling down the metaphorical plughole as a result of the Beaufort/NA/Greenland crackup. They are also mostly 1st or 2nd year ice in locations which have all melted out completely in four years out of the past five.

Toto, I have a feeling we are not in Kansas anymore.
