JAXA Extent

Slow down in Arctic sea ice extent daily increases halts 385 day average reversal to gains.
What will the future bring?

JAXA Extent data
Below average Arctic sea ice extent gains sends 365 day trailing average into reduction mode again.

However, further reductions require extent gains in 2020-21 to be below 2019-20 extent gains. This is very possible until March, but after that ??

NSIDC Area 365 Day Trailing Average

If 2020/21 daily Area stays below 2019/20 daily area then a new record low NSIDC Area 365 Day Trailing Average would happen sometime in mid 2021.

But the plume (3rd attachment) shows that from March 20 the melting season went off at a gallop.
If the 2921 melting season does not at least equal that then a new record low is indefinitely postponed.

Maybe not "indefinite", but 900 years is a long time!
