According to Karstenhaustein.com GFS expects the positive anomaly in the Arctic ocean to increase from around +2 to 4 for the next week.

JAXA ARCTIC EXTENT :- 12,563,633 km2(April 27, 2019)

- Extent is 2nd lowest in the satellite record, 65k greater than 2016.
- Extent loss on this day 45k, 0 k more than the average loss of 45 k on this day.
- Extent loss from maximum 1,707k, 450 k (36%) greater than the average of 1,257k loss from maximum by this day,
- On average 12.7% of the melting season done, with 139 days to average date of minimum (13 September)

The Perils of Projections.
Average remaining melt would give a minimum of 3.94 million km2, 2nd lowest in the satellite record, and 0.76 million km2 above the 2012 low of 3.18 million km2.

On 22nd April, 2016 started its 2 months as the front runner with steep declines in extent.  To become lowest again, 2019 will have to match or exceed the above average extent losses of 2016 from now until at least June.

Other Stuff
GFS indicates that overall the Arctic temperature anomaly will  increase from around +2 to well over +4 degrees over the next week to 10 days. The strongest and most persistent +ve anomalies will be in a broad band over the Pacific half of the CAB, the CAA, Baffin Bay and Greenland. The Okhotsk and Bering Seas should be warm enough to completely melt out over the next week to 10 days.

The strongest and most persistent +ve anomalies will be in a broad band over the Pacific half of the CAB, the CAA, Baffin Bay and Greenland. The Okhotsk and Bering Seas should be warm enough to completely melt out over the next week to 10 days.
Other Stuff
The warmth coming in from the Pacific is already affecting area loss in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. NSIDC Daily Extent still lowest and reducing fast again. See next post.

2016 area is still likely to stay lowest for some time to come as it was in very strong area decline at this time.

Total sea ice extent (5 day trailing average) still lowest,

Bering and Chukchi (especially) losing sea ice area.

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.

JAXA ARCTIC EXTENT :- 12,451,876 km2(April 28, 2019)

- Extent is 2nd lowest in the satellite record, 38k greater than 2016.
- Extent loss on this day 112k, 68 k more than the average loss of 44 k on this day.
- Extent loss from maximum 1,819 k, 517 k (40%) greater than the average of 1,302k loss from maximum by this day,
- On average 13.2% of the melting season done, with 138 days to average date of minimum (13 September)

The Perils of Projections.
Average remaining melt would give a minimum of 3.89 million km2, 2nd lowest in the satellite record, and 0.71 million km2 above the 2012 low of 3.18 million km2.

On 22nd April, 2016 started its 2 months as the front runner with steep declines in extent.  To become lowest again, 2019 will have to match or exceed the above average extent losses of 2016 from now until at least June.

Other Stuff
GFS indicates that overall the Arctic temperature anomaly will  vary from around +2.5 to just under +4 degrees over the next week to 10 days. The strongest and most persistent +ve anomalies will be in a broad band over the Pacific half of the CAB, the CAA, Baffin Bay and Greenland. The Okhotsk and Bering Seas should be warm enough to completely melt out over the next week to 10 days.

looking at the NSIDC area graph it seems that over the next 6 weeks 2016 actually fell in line with the 2010's average .. remaining the same distance ahead for the duration .. my guess is that 2019 will soon be challenging for the lead again .. b.c.

Losses between Apr 28 and June 03 (from JAXA):
2016: 2.06 M km²
10s: 1.89 M km²
00s: 1.70 M km²
90s: 1.60 M km²
So 2016 was a bit higher than all the averages, but of course 2019 can easily "beat" 2016 even within a few days due to the massive intrusion of warm air through Bering Strait and the movement of ice off the coast of NE Siberia and off the NW coast of Alaska... (see also Aluminium's latest animation in the 2019 melting season thread)
It is too late just to be concerned about Climate Change

2016 ice melt  28th April -  3rd June = 2.06 million sq kms

divided by 36 days = 57,222 sq kms per day   .....unless I stuffed up the maths

JAXA ARCTIC EXTENT :- 12,359,667 km2(April 29, 2019)

- Extent is 2nd lowest in the satellite record, 12 k greater than 2016.
- Extent loss on this day 92k, 43 k more than the average loss of 49 k on this day.
- Extent loss from maximum 1,911 k, 560 k (41%) greater than the average of 1,351k loss from maximum by this day,
- On average 13.7% of the melting season done, with 137 days to average date of minimum (13 September)

The Perils of Projections.
Average remaining melt would give a minimum of 3.83 million km2, 2nd lowest in the satellite record, and 0.65 million km2 above the 2012 low of 3.18 million km2.

On 22nd April, 2016 started its 2 months as the front runner with steep declines in extent.  To become lowest again, 2019 will have to match or exceed the above average extent losses of 2016 from now until at least June.

Including 2016 [2015-16] in the "JAXA ARCTIC Extent Gain (+) Loss (-) in Km2" chart would give a feel for the horse race these next two months.  [2018 is so 'last year'  :P ::) 8) :o ;D]

I will keep looking for the data, but not too much hope.

Emperor Akihito of Japan abdicated on 30 April 2019,[1] the first Japanese Emperor to do so since 1817. This marked the end of the Heisei era and the inception of the Reiwa era, and will precipitate numerous festivities leading up to the accession of his successor, Emperor Naruhito.[2] The enthronement ceremony will likely happen on 22 October 2019.[3] Akihito's younger son, Prince Akishino, is his brother's heir presumptive.

Holidays in Japan - 2019:
It's Japan's "Golden Week", but this year two more days were added because of the abdication. Last year data was absent through these holidays, so there is a good chance that we will have to wait nearly a whole week for the official data.

In that case we will have to guess extent drop to amuse ourselves.

Looking at Uni Bremen graph doesnt look like huge chunks gone since yday
so id say we are down 60k

Perhaps the system is not fully automated, i.e. a human quality check before the go button is pushed.
Perhaps the AI is so advanced the computers have now demanded equal holiday rights?

I have asked the University of Maine if there is a problem.

Other Stuff
The warmth coming in from the Pacific is already affecting area loss in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. Area sea ice loss has accelerated and looked as if it would continue for a few days..

2016 area is still likely to stay lowest for some time to come as it was in very strong area decline at this time.

NSIDC NT extent and area for the Basin only. Extent is just starting to drop from 100%  ice, while sea ice area has now dropped to low records for the day.

Their reply was really quick.
The server died on Monday - it is still dead and they don't know when it is coming back.

So much for the benefits of worry-free cloud computing.

"the cloud" = someone else's computer  :o

just use encrypted disk images, ie. sparsbundledisimages and you're safe, very high encryption, no backdoor and by using really long PP like myself (36multilanguageetcpassphrases) it would take centuries for the bad boys to get in.

only this way the cloud is safe.

most of the stuff i simply don't care to bother about that small possibility that someone would see me or my wife naked LOL but then some 15GB that are important like banking, stocks etc stuff are strored safely and backed up to every available computer, cloud and phone i can get a hold on. even backing up to my dad's computer off-site, a bit paranoid perhaps but i run 9 full off-site  data backups and 4 bootable full on-site backups. if I lose my data i'm ripe for the island, 30 years of work, books, artwork etc. in there ;) not to forget all my digitalised venyl ;) ;)

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.

Bimonthly BOE evaluation.

April 30 extent was 12,305,376 km^2. With on average 136 days to go until the end of the melt season on September 13th, we now require a daily drop of -83,128 km^2 for a BOE to occur. (See Attachment 1).

Surprisingly, there were several days of extent gain in April, and several days of low extent losses. Total extent loss in April was -1,069,805 km^2. And total extent loss so far this season is -1,965,745 km^2. This has resulted in the current average daily drop of -40,691 km^2. This is the 2nd fastest rate of melt from maximum to April 30th, behind 2010 at -43,748 km^2. Although, keep in mind that 2010's maximum was reached on March 31st. (See attachment 2 with graph :D).
Fun Addition: If the month of May ended today, 2019 would have the 3rd fastest rate of melt, behind 2010 and 2014.

Looking only at the month of April, we have averaged -35,660 km^2 per day (much slower than the March powerhouse of this season). This average daily drop places April 2019 as 7th out of 13 (2007-2019) in average daily April melt. (See Attachment 3).
And, given a story to enact in which the world is a foe to be conquered, they will conquer it like a foe, and one day, inevitably, their foe will lie bleeding to death at their feet, as the world is now.

And for comparisons to other years:

The following attachment is for actual previous years daily average melt from May 1 to their respective minimums (Attachment 1).

The following section is for what the previous years would have needed for a BOE to occur: From May 1st to each years respective minimum, our current BOE requirement is the 2nd highest value, behind only 2018 with an average daily drop of -80,251 km^2. Keep in mind that 2018's minimum was reached on September 21st, and that 2016's minimum was reached on September 7th. (See attachment 2). End

JAXA ARCTIC EXTENT :- 12,236,563 km2(May 1, 2019)

- Extent is 2nd lowest in the satellite record, 41 k greater than 2016.
- Extent loss on this day 69k, 15 k more than the average loss of 54 k on this day.
- Extent loss from maximum 2,035 k, 582 k (40%) greater than the average of 1,453k loss from maximum by this day,
- On average 14.7% of the melting season done, with 135 days to average date of minimum (13 September)

The Perils of Projections.
Average remaining melt would give a minimum of 3.81 million km2, 2nd lowest in the satellite record, and 0.63 million km2 above the 2012 low of 3.18 million km2.

On 22nd April, 2016 started its 2 months as the front runner with steep declines in extent.  To become lowest again, 2019 will have to match or exceed the above average extent losses of 2016 from now until at least June.

A real pity as it is obvious that warmth and wind have marched into the Arctic Ocean via the Pacific Gateway and into Baffin Bay from the Atlantic.

Other Stuff
The warmth coming in from the Pacific is already affecting area loss in the Bering and Chukchi Seas and now causing area loss in the ESS and Beaufort. Area sea ice loss has accelerated and looked as if it would continue for a few days..

2016 area is still likely to stay lowest for some time to come as it was in very strong area decline at this time.

That initial crack along the margins of the shallowest bays might still close up. Also possible that it will not do that. Is that the earliest? 2,5 weeks early to 2010s average anyway. How's the weather in Easternmost Russia and currents in Chukchi Sea?

I just poked around climatereanalyser yet again but could only get a handful of partial page loads...  :'(

analyzer is finally back online but maps are not yet loading, they're probably settings things up as i write.

glad to hear that you're ahead but since i'm interested to learn new and/or better stuff at all times i'd of course appreciate if you would elaborate via PM ;)

JAXA ARCTIC EXTENT :- 12,176,248 km2(May 2, 2019)

- Extent is 2nd lowest in the satellite record, 12 k greater than 2016.
- Extent loss on this day 60k, 12 k more than the average loss of 48 k on this day.
- Extent loss from maximum 2,095 k, 594 k (40%) greater than the average of 1,501k loss from maximum by this day,
- On average 15.2% of the melting season done, with 134 days to average date of minimum (13 September)

The Perils of Projections.
Average remaining melt would give a minimum of 3.80 million km2, 2nd lowest in the satellite record, and 0.62 million km2 above the 2012 low of 3.18 million km2.

On 22nd April, 2016 started its 2 months as the front runner with steep declines in extent.  To become lowest again, 2019 will have to match or exceed the above average extent losses of 2016 from now until at least June.

Other Stuff https://climatereanalyzer.org/ has returned.

GFS shows temperature anomalies varying from +2.5 to +3.5 celsius over the forecast period, with warmth moving across from the Pacific side as far as Svalbard. Also warmth in Baffin Bay for most of the time.

Suggests above average but steady sea ice decline?
