- 2020 EXTENT is 297 k less than 2019          
- 2020 EXTENT is 109 k more than 2012   
___________________________________________
And NSIDC area again writes a line on a previously unused part of the graph paper (now for the 20th day this year),  & extent now only 2nd lowest by 109k.

BUT it looks like daily area and extent gains are increasing, though still below the average for this time of year.

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:  4,636,863 KM2 as at 11-Oct-2020

- Extent gain on this day 89k, 9 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 98k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 1,082 k, which is 347 k, 24% less than the 10 year average of 1,429 k.
- Extent is at position #1 in the satellite record
- Extent is  128 k LESS than 2019,
- Extent is  657 k LESS than 2016,
- Extent is  45 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  507 k LESS than 2007
_____________________________________________
On average 14.3% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 151 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 13.18 million km2, 0.70 million km2 below the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
______________________________________
Lowest extent for the day - for the 38th day this year.
Should stay at lowest for at least the next few days, though if daily extent gain is at or above average this week, extent will likely end up above 2019 by next Sunday.

Volume is harder to measure than extent, but 3-dimensional space is real, 2D's hide ~50% thickness gone.

- Extent is  634 k LESS than 2016,
- Extent is  196 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  431 k LESS than 2007
_____________________________________________
On average 17.5% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 148 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 13.14 million km2, 0.74 million km2 below the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
_________________________________________________
2012 daily extent gain in the next few days is very large, and 2020 extent already 196k less than 2012.
2020 extent now only 37k less than 2019, but 2019 daily extent gain starts to increase from now. What will 2020 daily extent gain do?
So it looks like for some time 2020 is more or less guaranteed to be 2nd lowest, and it's a toss-up whether it will be lowest.

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:  4,938,567 KM2 as at 15-Oct-2020

- Extent gain on this day 33k, 102 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 135k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 1,384 k, which is 495 k, 26% less than the 10 year average of 1,878 k.
- Extent is at position #1 in the satellite record
- Extent is  96 k LESS than 2019,
- Extent is  722 k LESS than 2016,
- Extent is  452 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  516 k LESS than 2007
_____________________________________________
On average 18.8% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 147 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 13.04 million km2, 0.84 million km2 below the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
_____________________________________________________
Extent is 1.2 million km2 less than the 2010's average - well above the average decadal extent loss.

A very very low extent gain on this day  looks like it has cemented 2020 as 2nd lowest for some time, and if extent gains from now just marginally below average at #1.

It is difficult to believe that the maximum will be so low as the average projection suggests. But it does mean a very large amount of extent gain is being significantly delayed.

JAXA Data - a bit more

If extent gains for the remauinder of October are at average (which is high at this time of year), the October monthly average will be a record low for the second year running, at over 200k less than the 2019 record low, and 800k or nearly 10 years below the linear trend value for October 2020.

Even if extent gains follow 2019's accelerated trend at the end of the month a record low will still happen.

Attached are the summary graphs for the High Arctic and the peripheral Seas, that show
- that the Peripheral Seas are losing maximum far more than the High Arctic,
- area is far more variable than extent.

JAXA ARCTIC SEA ICE EXTENT:  4,928,965 KM2 as at 16-Oct-2020

- Extent loss on this day 10k, 132 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 122k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 1,374 k, which is 627 k, 31% less than the 10 year average of 2,001 k.
- Extent is at position #1 in the satellite record
- Extent is  193 k LESS than 2019,
- Extent is  784 k LESS than 2016,
- Extent is  714 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  625 k LESS than 2007
_____________________________________________
On average 20.1% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 146 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 12.90 million km2, 0.97 million km2 below the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
_____________________________________________________
A daily extent loss  in October is unusual, but has happened 12 times in the last 18 years.
What is unusual, perhaps unprecedented,  is to have a simple projection of a record low maximum by nearly 1 million km2.  It looks very much like fantasy land, but that is where the data, i.e. a low minimum and very low freeze to date, have taken us.

Every day that extent gain is delayed is one day less for extent gain to occur and from a lower extent value.

Thanks !
could you say what are these 12 dates?
I am curious to know if there is an increase in the frequency of these occurrences (even if I know that we cannot make a trend with 12 values), and how many are after October 15, where the gain is maximum
Maybe i have to post this on other topic, i don't know, i m sorry if is the wrong place to my question :-\

The Russian Shore


Barents. Kara, Laptev, ESS - how late will the freeze be? How fast when it does happen?
The ESS, Laptev and Kara numbers are staggering.  Barents numbers are bad, but not so much by comparison.

This is no doubt already seriously throwing off northern hemisphere weather.
This space for Rent.

JAXA ARCTIC SEA ICE EXTENT:  4,959,023 KM2 as at 17-Oct-2020

- Extent gain on this day 30k, 91 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 121k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 1,404 k, which is 719 k, 34% less than the 10 year average of 2,123 k.
- Extent is at position #1 in the satellite record
- Extent is  277 k LESS than 2019,
- Extent is  798 k LESS than 2016,
- Extent is  845 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  681 k LESS than 2007
- Extent is  1,406 k LESS than the 2010's Average
_____________________________________________
On average 21.3% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 145 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 12.81 million km2, 1.06 million km2 below the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
_________________________________________________________
Extent has been lowest from 11th October, and for 44 days in total this year.

The projection moves further into fantasy land as the simple projection is for a record low maximum now by over 1 million km2.  This is where the data, i.e. a low minimum and very low freeze to date (0.72 million km2 below average), is taking us.

Every day that extent gain is delayed is one day less for extent gain to occur and from a lower extent value.

Nico Sun's Arctic sea ice graph @ https://cryospherecomputing.tk/ uses NSIDC's daily area data, so gives a hint on the direction of travle of the NSIDC 5 day data I use.

And yesterday's graph shows a drop in area of nearly 40k. Another day's delay in the refreeze.

NSIDC Data - Peripheral Seas - sea ice area graphs

- St. Lawrence- zero,
- Greenland- at 2010's average,
- Barents - almost zero.

Greenland sea ice is more than 80% of total area of the seven seas. i.e. the freezing season is still mostly about ice export from the Central Arctic into the Greenland Sea.

Gero, it’s been a while since we’ve seen the 12 month average extent graph that I feel is one of the best snapshots of state of ASI. After the last couple of months of low extent data, and now a growing gap with all other years, it must be telling a bit of a tale.

Fingers crossed you might produce?

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.

- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 1,511 k, which is 883 k, 37% less than the 10 year average of 2,394 k.
- Extent is at position #1 in the satellite record
- Extent is  434 k LESS than 2019,

- Extent is  1,064 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  925 k LESS than 2007
- Extent is  1,577 k LESS than the 2010's Average
_____________________________________________
On average 24.0% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 143 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 12.64 million km2, 1.24 million km2 below the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
________________________________________________________
Modest upticks in daily extent gain in the last 2 days.
Since 2007,every year's remaining freeze would lead to a record low maximum -except 2019-20.

Sea ice extent is 1.577 million km2 less than the 2010's average. - that is the area of France+Germany+Poland+UK, or more than twice the area of Texas.
That is an awful lot of ice gone missing.

JAXA Data

The 7 day trailing average of daily extent gain shows clearly why 2020 is currently at a record low.

The plume of ice extent from previous years remaining extent gains shows the nearly 4 million km2 wide range of possible outcomes from the previous 10 years,

Words aren't adequate.
Thank you for the comment.  ;)

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

October 20th, 2020:
     5,127,751 km2, an increase of 61,600 km2.
     2020 is the lowest on record on this date.
     Highlighted the 5 years with a daily lowest min in September. In million km2:
     [ 1) 2012: 3.18,  2) 2020: 3.55,  3) 2019: 3.96,  4) 2016: 4.02  &  5) 2007: 4.07 ].
     In the graph are today's 10 lowest years.
     Source: https://ads.nipr.ac.jp/vishop/#/extent.

Almost half a million km2 less than 2019 and more than a million km2 less versus 2012, 2016 and 2007!  :o

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 said, in 2007 at this time of the year, we were about 1.0 to 1.5 millions km² below the previous daily record, 2005 (something like 6 to 6.5 millions km² in 2007 versus 7.5 to 8 millions km² in 2005).

JAXA ARCTIC SEA ICE EXTENT:  5,127,751 KM2 as at 20-Oct-2020

- Extent gain on this day 62k, 47 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 109k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 1,573 k, which is 929 k, 37% less than the 10 year average of 2,502 k.
- Extent is at position #1 in the satellite record
- Extent is  498 k LESS than 2019,
- Extent is  1,025 k LESS than 2016,
- Extent is  1,221 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  1,121 k LESS than 2007
- Extent is  1,625 k LESS than the 2010's Average
_____________________________________________
On average 25.1% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 142 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 12.59 million km2, 1.28 million km2 below the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
_________________________________________
If you look at graph Arc-4, you will see that at this time last year 2019 was lowest in the satellite record by an astonishing amount. To see two years in a row like this is very unusual.

And if you look at the table Arc-3, you will see that at this time in 2018, 2018 was lowest (just).

More than a hint that the re- freeze may be on a trend to be delayed (as various science papers have predicted)?

We could then expect that peak daily ice growth will move into late November?
