But the beaufort is gonna save us this year, right?There ain't no stoppin' it now .. https://go.nasa.gov/39oSyYL.
for the 1'st time in 10 days we get to see the unfolding horror of the Atlantic side . Pagophilus showed the damage north of FJL . I see it extends as far as can be seen .. 86.5'N . The state of the ice here is as bad or worse than the ice between Laptev and pole . Coupled with the video of Polarstern and the ice flow , I see no reason for any of the ice on the Eurasian side of the meridian 0/180' to survive .
this update has just been patched into worldview .. between G'land and the pole .. the hue of the blue has darkened and it is easy to see water between the rubble = trouble . It looks as if even here in the bastion of ice there is no defence . Looks like only 5% of the ice here would make it through a serious assault .. the whiter blocks and specks .

of course , weather and seasons changing may delay the inevitable for another year .
b.c.
This is exactly what I mean it's only freaking July 23rd.
2020 is going to finish lowest in area, extent, and volume
Oh wait... Storm coming...
Just submitted this year's prediction:
We predict the September ice extent 2020 to be 3.8 (3.3-4.3) million km2. This is the lowest prediction we have made based on spring melt pond fraction. The likehood is around 30% that this September extent will be a new minimum record. In our model simulation since 1979, May 2020 has the highest mean melt pond fraction for May including some unprecedented melt pond formation in the Central Arctic during 15-18 May when air temperature exceeded 0deg C.
Personally, I think we will end up somewhere around 4,5 Mn km2 by the middle of September.
Slater projection shows ice beginning to open in the CAB for July 25th, extremely close to the pole. Extent of 7.42 mil km^2 at that time.
