JAXA ARCTIC SEA ICE EXTENT:  5,704,360 KM2 as at 12-Aug-2023

- Extent loss on this day 88k, 18 k more than the average loss on this day (of the last 10 years) of 70k,
- Extent loss from maximum on this date is 8,419 k, which is 216 k, 2.5% less than the 10 year average of 8,636 k.

- Extent is 11th lowest in the 44 year satellite record.

- Extent is  225 k LESS than 2022,

I added the monthly extent value for July 2023 into my long-term plot where I calculate the extent anomalies from 1979 up to now.
The average (1979-2023) NSIDC July extent is now 9.06 M km². July 2023 had an average extent of 8.18 M km², which is 0.88 M km² below that long-term average.
This month's value was again above the long-term linear trend line. The difference of the actual month from that trend line is +0.30 M km² (calculated from the linear trend line this July should have been at 7.88 M km²).

The slope of the long-term linear trend line remained unchanged (-0.0524).

2nd place is still in play , 1st very unlikely , except it is 2023

NSIDC  ARCTIC SEA ICE AREA (5-day trailing average): a bit more

High Arctic sea ice area losses a bit lower but still above average for the time of year.

Peripheral Seas sea ice area losses had stalled and on this day a 5k gain - mostly in the Greenland Sea (a bit of Fram Export?)

[gerontocrat]

NSIDC  ARCTIC SEA ICE AREA (5-day trailing average): Some graphs

CAA daily sea ice area is lowest on this day in the 45 year for the 13th time this year.

Beaufort Sea Ice is 3rd lowest on thuis day, having been 3rd or 4th lowest every day this momth.

The ESS is 3rd lowest, up from 6th lowest in early August

It's all about the left side of the High Arctic losing sea ice this year while ice is being pushed out into the Barents and the Greenland Seas?

[Stephan]

Analysis of NSIDC Arctic Sea Ice Area "relative area wise" Aug 01- Aug 19.

The laggard is
CAB   -10% (as to be expected)
Slow melting in
LAP   -19%  (→ where is the famous Laptev bite this year?)
Medium melt rates in
GRØ  -34%  (a bit out of comparison due to large inflow via Fram)
KAR  -36%
HUD  -39%
BAF   -41%
BEAU -43%
Fast melting occurred in
CHUK -52%
CAA   -54%
The leader is
ESS    -74%

Chukchi Sea had one day of > 10% daily loss, ESS counted five days of a loss of > 10%/day.

Thanks  Juan  ...  i notice the delta to 2012 now seems to be levelling out  ...... but are we about to come up to the GAC  period ?  .... or was that earlier ?  .....i forget

The GAC was at the beginning of August. As far as I know, Neven was the first to talk about the possible consequences of the GAC. You can find what happened on Neven's Blog. By example, on this link (see the other July and August Neven's posts).
