From NSIDC Data - 3 sea ice AREA graphs)

The Atlantic Front continues to fascinate.

- The Central Arctic has lost 100k in sea ice area in 8 days, in that time moving from 15th to 2nd lowest sea ice area in the satellite record in that time.
- The Greenland Sea has lost nearly 150k in sea ice area in 9 days, in that time moving from 21st to 3rd lowest sea ice area in the satellite record in that time.

On the other hand, the Barents sea gained over 200k in sea ice area from the 1st to the 16th of February, moving from 14th to 27th lowest in that time. Since then sea ice loss is just less than 20k, and the Barents sea ice area is still 25th lowest in the satellite.

How much is melt and freeze and how much is increased mobility is a question I cannot answer.

From NSIDC Data - 4 sea ice AREA graphs

The Atlantic Front continues to fascinate.

The Central Arctic, the Greenland Sea and the Barents sea continue to lose sea ice area.
How much is melt and freeze and how much is increased mobility is a question I cannot answer. It will be interesting to see what the PIOMAS model makes of it.

meanwhile - at the Pacific gateway, the Bering and the Chukchi gain sea ice area. Indeed the Chukchi has made a bit of a record. Chukchi sea ice area on this day, the 24th February, is 43rd lowest in the satellite record. i.e. HIGHEST in the satellite record.

But what a difference a day makes.

Now in 7 of the last 10 years, including last year, remaining extent gain was enough to increase extent to a new maximum, and maybe the switch in the weather that now favours extent gains will continue.

2021 is 7^th lowest on record.
In the graph are today's 15 lowest years.
Highlighted 2010's average, 2021 and the 5 years with daily lowest minimum:
(2012, 2020, 2019, 2016 & 2007)
It needs only 37K km² to make a new 2021 max.

JAXA ARCTIC SEA ICE EXTENT: 13,942,270 KM2 as at 28-Feb-2021

- Extent gain on this day 101k, 80 k more than the average gain on this day (of the last 10 years) of 21k,
- Extent gain from minimum on this date is 10,387 k, which is 652 k, 6.7% more than the 10 year average of 9,735 k.

- Extent is at position #7 in the satellite record

- Extent is 406 k LESS than 2020,
- Extent is 214 k MORE than 2018,
- Extent is 192 k MORE than 2017
- Extent is 563 k LESS than 2013
- Extent is 75 k LESS than the 2010's Average
_____________________________________________
On average 98.8% of extent gains from minimum to maximum done, and 8 days to maximum

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2021 of 14.12 million km2, 0.23 million km2 above the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2.
_______________________________________________________________
Two days of 100k+ extent gains and extent increases from 2nd to 7th lowest in the satellite record.
A further 37k extent gain gives a new maximum extent for the year

from JAXA Data - a bit more

I attach the monthly average graph for February. At 13.78 million km2, the Feb '21 average was 220k less than Feb '20 and 5th lowest in the satellite record. It was also 198k more than the linear trend value.

I also attach the estimated March monthly average graph assuming average daily extent gains.

NSIDC

Today(1 March) at 15.33 GMT NSIDC posted another set of graphs. Unfortunately the data is the same as in the update on 26 Feb.

So it ain't fixed. It's been a very long time since we've had such a long unscheduled pitstop.

ps: Does not PIOMAS depend on the NSIDC area analysis as the main data input into the algorithm?

re: NSIDC

Something is very wrong there. The latest daily extent data (uploaded this morning) stops at the 21st after skipping the 20th. And the data for the 21st comes from one day in the future!?? (All the other days have the previous day's date in the file name.)

Message from NSIDC

NSIDC User Services, Mar 3, 2021, 11:05 MST:
Dear Matthew,

Thank you for contacting NSIDC. We continue to investigate errors in our sea ice processing, and we making some software upgrades to address the errors. We will post new data as soon as the software upgrades are implemented. At this time, I don't have an estimate on when we'll have new data, but I am hopeful it will be soon. We will be updating the message on the site shortly.

Best regards,
