Hi.

I made 2 analysis with the data from NSIDC provided by Wipneus. The first analysis looks to the changes from July 21st to July 30th. The true is that I choose the 21st just randomly, without a reason. The second analysis is from July 25th to July 30th. I think that July 25th was the beginning of the storm that had an impact on the ASI.

At first, after looking at the numbers, I did not know what to think. There is a bigger lost on area that it is on extent. I was expecting that. But the drops, in both analyses, are concentrated on the Central Arctic Basin, not on Chukchi and Beaufort.

On a 2nd thought, the drops on Chukchi and Beaufort were important when they are measure on percentage (2nd analysis). So, what I think is that the CAB had a hit north of Chukchi and Beaufort. I need to analyze the frontier of both seas versus the CAB, to see is that is true. But that is beyond the analysis that I am looking to do now.

I include the numbers of both analyses.

Maybe a picture could help to clarify this further:  here is a delta map, showing the change in NSIDC sea ice concentration over the past 7 days (i.e., 1 August minus 25 July 2020).  The strongest drops in concentration are in the area north of Chukchi and Western Beaufort where the cyclone was positioned.  As always, these could be real drops in sea ice concentration or transient weather effects affecting the surface wetness of the ice.

_____________________________________________
Now both area and extent losses are below average. Is this transient as a new pattern emerges or is it a general decline in melting?  Given the general warmth in, e.g. the CAA & Hudson Bay, + the Atlantic Front, I am even more puzzled by the data.

<Cherry picking is not data. O>

Posting a data sheet with one day NSIDC sea ice extent and area for all regions is cherry picking?

This is a data thread and relevant to the sea ice melting season. This also helps readers understand where the 5-day average could possibly be headed.

There is only certain data allowed in this thread? Why delete the data sheet?

<You do not post this regularly, only on dates of your choosing. You highlight small increases while all around show decreases. I find that to be cherry-picking. If you wish, post a chart of Beaufort area and extent, not just the last day, then it will be in context. O>

[ADS NIPR VISHOP (JAXA)] Arctic Sea Ice Extent.

August 2nd, 2020:
     5,669,846 km2, a drop of -48,032 km2.
     2020 is the lowest on record.
     Highlighted 2020 & the 4 years with a daily lowest min in Sept. (2012, 2019, 2016 & 2007).
     In the graph are today's 10 lowest years.

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 SEA ICE EXTENT:  5,669,846 KM2 as at 02-Aug-2020

Below average extent loss for the 11th day in a row, but still lowest in the satellite record

- Extent loss on this day 48k, 23 k less than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 71k,
- Extent loss from maximum on this date is 8,778 k, 845 k, 10.7% more than the 10 year average of 7,933 k.
- Extent is at position #1 in the satellite record
- Extent is  183 k LESS than 2019,
- Extent is  531 k LESS than 2016,
- Extent is  364 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  429 k LESS than 2007
_____________________________________________
On average 79.7% of melting from maximum to minimum done, and 43 days to minimum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining melt (of the last 10 years) would produce a minimum in Sept 2020 of 3.65 million km2, 0.47 million km2 above the 2012 minimum of 3.18 million km2.

For a record low, remaining melt needs to be  23.5% or more above average.
For the 2020 minimum to be above the 2019 minimum of 3.96 million km2,  remaining melt needs to be  15.3% or more below the previous 10 years average remaining melt.

In every year from 2007 to 2019, with the exception of 2009, remaining melt results in an extent below 3.96 million km2, which was the 2nd lowest extent of 2019.

Semimonthly BOE evaluation --- Sorry for the delays and missed posts. Sometimes life gets in the way of ice. Numbers updated through August 2nd instead of July 31st.

As of August 2nd, extent is 5,669,846 km2. With on average 42 days to go until the end of the melt season on September 13th, we now require a daily drop of -111,187 km2 for a BOE to occur. (See Attachment 1).

Total extent loss so far this season is -8,777,795 km2. This has resulted in the current season average daily drop of -57,749 km2. Since the year 2007, this is the 4th fastest average daily loss from maximum to July 31st (2007-2020). (See Attachment 2). ~numbers slightly off here in order to work with the late posting.

Total extent loss from maximum to July 31st is highest on record in the post-2007 era.. (See Attachment 3).

Looking only at the month of July, 2020 lost -3,162,434 km2, averaging -102,014 km2 per day. This is the largest loss since in the post-2007 era. (See Attachment 4).

And for comparisons to other years:

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

The following section is for what the previous years would have needed for a BOE to occur: From August 1st to each years respective minimum, our current BOE requirement of -108,100 (-111,187 as of Aug 2) km2 is the 4th lowest value, of which 2018 is the leader. (See attachment 2).
These numbers will vary depending on the date of 2020s minimum, with extra days decreasing this average.

BUT it is not the CAB - Central Arctic BASIN per Wipneus - 4.432 million Km2,

It is for the NSIDC Central Arctic SEA CAS - 3.224 million km2.

& it was 2007 wot dunnit

Thanks a lot, I did mean NSIDC data using their regions.
I remind new readers Wipneus did not come up with "his" regions himself, these originated with a now-defunct website called Cryosphere Today,  CT.

This means that in terms of ice area NSDIC in the Central Arctic 2020 is in 7th place after 2016, 2012, 2011, 2007, 2017, 2013.

Arctic Sea Ice area - evaluation "relative area wise" July 20 - August 02. After the GAAC has lost its dominance. The order of the seas has changed. But not of all of them.

The big laggard:
CAB        - 13%
Slow decrease:
Laptev    - 22%
Beaufort - 25%
Average:
Grønland - 30%
Kara       - 31%
CAA        - 36%
Fast decrease:
Chukchi  - 43%
Hudson   - 45%
ESS        - 45%
Baffin     - 57%
The fastest:
Barents  - 84%, almost melted out completely.
It is too late just to be concerned about Climate Change

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.

This means that in terms of ice area NSDIC in the Central Arctic 2020 is in 7th place after 2016, 2012, 2011, 2007, 2017, 2013.

How is it in 7th place?
Meaning that at its current 2243K CAB area 2020 has already passed the minimum area of most years, except these 6, according to NSIDC data.

Talking about current "places" when there's only one entrant still running and all the others have finished seems a bit confusing.  What might be less confusing is to say that 2020 can't finish in lower than 7th place.

[ADS NIPR VISHOP (JAXA)] Arctic Sea Ice Extent.

August 4th, 2020:
     5,554,165 km2, a drop of -58,769 km2.
     2020 is the lowest on record.
     Highlighted 2020 & the 4 years with a daily lowest min in Sept. (2012, 2019, 2016 & 2007).
     In the graph are today's 10 lowest years.

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.

My God gerontocrat! That's awful. I wish you have made backups.
Perhaps we from the forum could each give some money for you to buy a (2nd hand?) laptop.

I wish you strength with the sudden hole in your life/routine.

In the mean time, while I don't know how to find exact area numbers, Nico's graph for the last two days suggest an averaged drop not much different from the past week, in other words around -60k km^2 per day.

Hi all, been a lurker here for awhile but thought I could add some area data quickly.  Here is the 1 day and 5 day area totals based off of Nico's site.  These are in millions of sq. km.

Edit:  Updated with headers and more clean data

Welcome madweather, and thanks.
Just note headings are missing, and the last number on the right seems wrong.

but Juan C. Garcia and Nico have another source, I think, because they have the information before the update of this link, but still with a difference of a few thousand km2.

I echo the sentiment of others, G has been a tremendous resource - please let me (us) know what we can do - I have years of experience in data recovery, if needed.  (It sounds like the drives should be intact ... but whatever I can do to help).

Alexander, i think your real name shows up. Maybe there is a setting to donate anonymously, but i don't see it. There are other payment methods other than CC though.
