JAXA ARCTIC SEA ICE EXTENT:  11,672,440 KM2 as at 19-Dec-2020

- Extent gain on this day 110k, 67 k more than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 43k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 8,118 k, which is 785 k, 11% more than the 10 year average of 7,333 k.

- Extent is at position #6 in the satellite record

- Extent is  58 k MORE than 2019,
- Extent is  312 k MORE than 2016,
- Extent is  68 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  182 k LESS than 2007
- Extent is  18 k LESS than the 2010's Average
_____________________________________________
On average 74.4% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 82 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 14.20 million km2, 0.32 million km2 above the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
_______________________________________________________________
6 7 days of above average extent gains and lo and behold, extent that was 2nd lowest becomes 5th 6th lowest in the satellite record.

Now it looks very much about how high can it go (- until it changes again?)

___________________________________________
Sea ice extent in the 7 central seas of the High Arctic is at or nearly at 100% for all the seas apart from the Kara Sea.   
So after today I am abandoning the High Arctic Extent, and replacing it with the Sea Ice Area table or maybe a graph.

     11,813,109 km2, a century break increase of 140,669 km2.
     2020 is now 9th lowest on record.

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.

Graphs from NSIDC Data

I attach summary extent and area graphs for the High Arctic and the Peripheral Seas.

They show that sea ice extent and area recovery, though late again, is pretty much universal.

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 14.31 million km2, 0.43 million km2 above the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.

Happy holidays!!!  ;)
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.

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.

Graphs from NSIDC Data - The Atlantic Front.

While the Kara Sea extent and area rush to completion, the Barents, Greenland and central Arctic do not.

Indeed, the Central Arctic has lost 150k sea ice area over the last 5 days. This is an impressive push back of the sea ice back North of 80 along a realtively short front between NE Greenland and Svalbard.

Not long for attnetion to switch almost entirely to theperipheral seas for extent and area - (but PIOMAS volume becomes even more relevant for all seas).

NSIDC Data Query

Not a lot of people know that the NSIDC sea ice extent total is greater than the sum of extents of the 14 seas.....

I wrote to NSIDC this...
______________________________________
Every day I download the 5-day Arctic Sea Ice trailing averages for the 14 regions from N_Sea_Ice_Index_Regional_Daily_Data_G02135_v3.0.xlsx and post an analysis on the Arctic Sea Ice Forum. That analysis includes adding up the total sea ice extent of the 14 seas.

But that total does not agree with the 5-day trailing average extent from
file Sea_Ice_Index_Daily_Extent_G02135_v3.0.xlsx

The value from this file is always about 100k km2 greater than the figure
from adding up the 14 individual Arctic regions. See table below

Is this just because its how the algorithms work?
Which figure for the total should I use ?

              Total of
              the 14 seas
              5-day extent      NSIDC 5 day extent   Difference
21-Dec     12.118                    12.216                   0.098
22-Dec     12.220                    12.326                   0.106
23-Dec     12.297                    12.401                   0.104
24-Dec     12.346                    12.451                   0.105
25-Dec     12.390                    12.494                   0.104
__________________________________________

And got a reply from the man himself (Walter Meier)
____________________________________________
"The total is the entire polar stereo grid. If one looks at the regions, there are areas of the grid outside of these regions. Most, if not all of such ice is false ice - i.e., either weather effects or land-spillover error. However, there can be some legitimate ice - mostly this would be in winter in places like the Bohai Sea off the coast of China or in the Chesapeake Bay (though this is brackish water, so one could argue if that is “true” sea ice). The area of such extraneous ice is, as noted in the data, quite small: ~100,000 sq km."

- Extent gain on this day 48k, 5 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 53k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 8,566 k, which is 692 k, 9% more than the 10 year average of 7,875 k.

- Extent is at position #4 in the satellite record

- Extent is  166 k LESS than 2019,
- Extent is  36 k MORE than 2016,
- Extent is  351 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  479 k LESS than 2007
- Extent is  129 k LESS than the 2010's Average
_____________________________________________
On average 80.0% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 71 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 14.09 million km2, 0.21 million km2 above the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.

Thank you all!  :)
I hope that 2021 will be a better year than 2020 to everybody!
Happy new year!

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

December 31st, 2020:
     12,105,271 km2, a drop of -15,991 km2.
     2020 is now 3rd lowest on record.
     In the graph are today's 16 lowest years.
     Highlighted the 5 years with daily lowest minimum on September.

Source: https://ads.nipr.ac.jp/vishop/#/extent.
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:  12,105,271 KM2 as at 31-Dec-2020

- Extent loss on this day 16k, 56 k less than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 40k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 8,550 k, which is 644 k, 8% more than the 10 year average of 7,907 k.

- Extent is at position #3 in the satellite record

- Extent is  249 k LESS than 2019,
- Extent is  8 k MORE than 2016,
- Extent is  323 k LESS than 2012
- Extent is  554 k LESS than 2007
- Extent is  185 k LESS than the 2010's Average
_____________________________________________
On average 80.4% of extent gains  from minimum to maximum done, and 70 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 14.03 million km2, 0.16 million km2 above the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
