Thanks Wipneus !
It looks to me that the "area" minimum was reached September 1....
This is our planet. This is our time.
Let's not waste either.

And minimum extent any day now. The forecast turns really cold for the Central Arctic and the Pacific side.

the ice looks good placed and it is compact, so i also cant  see any reason for more then 200k less extent this year then today.

Today's increase in extent is nearly all caused by suspicious increases in the CAA. In the Basin the slow decline continues, while area even drops with more enthusiasm.

Yesterday's fake ice in the CAA disappeared again, resulting in a net extent loss. Within the Basin, the extent actually increased. Area keeps falling and a new minimum seems to be possible again, today is only 32k above the value on 1 September.

(Hi all. Apologies for the break in updates. I'll try to get everything up to date during the week)

Update for the week to August 12th

The current 5 day trailing average is on 5,687,000km2 while the 1 day extent is at 5,457,000km2.

(All the following data is based on a trailing 5 day average)
The daily anomaly (compared to 81-10) is at -1,790,000km2, an increase from -1,679,000km2 last week. The anomaly compared to the 07, 11 and 12 average is at +229,000km2, an increase from +7,000km2 last week. We're currently 3rd lowest on record, the same as last week.



The average daily change over the last 7 days was -83.1k/day, compared to the long term average of -67.1k/day, and the 07, 11 and 12 average of -104.1k/day.
The average long term change over the next week is -54.8k/day, with the 07, 11, and 12 average being -70.9k/day.



The extent loss so far this August is the 6th largest on record. To achieve the largest loss, a drop of at least 87.5k/day is required (more than 85.3k/day with single day values), while the smallest loss requires a drop of less than 6.8k/day (increase of at least 6.1k/day with single day values) and an average loss requires a drop of 34.8k/day (25.7k/day with single day values).

I recently joined the twitter thing, where I post more analysis, pics and animations: @Icy_Samuel

Looking at our highest resolution sea ice concentration, the 3.125 km resolution UH AMSR2, and simply counting pixels of open water (blue, respectively <20% concentration green) by date, suggests we not yet reached the fall minimum for either of these measures. The graph shows these counts normalized to the lowest count on 14 Aug 17; the raw data is attached as a csv text file. The animation is done to the <20% regions.

Area dropped below 1st September value and went below the 2007 minimum. The minimum is now the 4th lowest, another -25k is needed for 3rd place.
Extent still 8th lowest, -38k needed for 7.

Is anyone doing a track of how the monthly extent builds up this September?

An uptick in extent caused by some spurious ice emerging in the Hudson, it will be probably go tomorrow. Area still needs a drop of -23k for third lowest minimum.

Wipneus, thank you so much for your continuing reporting of the daily NSIDC numbers for area and extent.

Now that it looks like the minimum has been reached, could you once more report the rankings for area and extent ?

Thanks a lot !
This is our planet. This is our time.
Let's not waste either.

Update for the week to August 19th

The current 5 day trailing average is on 5,315,000km2 while the 1 day extent is at 5,284,000km2.

(All the following data is based on a trailing 5 day average)
The daily anomaly (compared to 81-10) is at -1,779,000km2, a decrease from -1,790,000km2 last week. The anomaly compared to the 07, 11 and 12 average is at +278,000km2, an increase from +154,000km2 last week. We're currently 4th lowest on record, down from 3rd lowest last week.



The average daily change over the last 7 days was -53.1k/day, compared to the long term average of -54.8k/day, and the 07, 11 and 12 average of -70.9k/day.
The average long term change over the next week is -46.0k/day, with the 07, 11, and 12 average being -62.6k/day.



The extent loss so far this August is the 9th largest on record. To achieve the largest loss, a drop of at least 107.5k/day is required (more than 125.9k/day with single day values), while the smallest loss requires an increase of at least 20.4k/day (increase of at least 24.6k/day with single day values) and an average loss requires a drop of 24.1k/day (25.9k/day with single day values).

A (probably exaggerated) extent drop in the CAA causes a slight drop in extent. The real refreeze has yet to start.

First five days are UH AMSR2 to Sept 19th, then ESRL picks up in 6 hr increments to Sept 29th (using data of aice_h from REB.2017-09-19b ftp://ftp1.esrl.noaa.gov/RASM-ESRL/ModelOutput).

In case there were any lingering doubts as to whether 2017 had, indeed, bottomed out, NSIDC put that to rest today with an SIE increase of 94k, the largest one-day growth spurt since early March. The number is now at 4.847M km2, nearly a quarter of a million square kilometers higher than the September 12th nadir of 4.611.



So it shall be written, so it shall be done...

Over two/third of that extent increase is in the CAA. Interesting perhaps, but not realistic. The area drop in contrast comes from the CAB.

Now that is clear that the daily minimum (NSIDC) was reached September 12 at 4.611 M km^2,
it is interesting to speculate about the NSIDC monthly average.

Last year, we saw a daily minimum of 4.15 which resulted in monthly average of 4.72.
Much of that was caused by the odd way in which NSIDC calculates the monthly average, but still it is a 0.57 M km^2 difference.

So if 2017 grows ice for the remainder of September by as fast as 2016 did (and much depends on the last week of September) then we may end up at 4.611 + 0.57 = 5.18 M km^2 for the NSIDC September average....

Let's see where this goes. This melting season has been quite interesting.
This is our planet. This is our time.
Let's not waste either.

NSIDC monthly "average" in a growth month is more or less the extent at the 75% mark of the month, ~Sep 23rd. The minimum figure has little to do with it. I doubt it will pass 5 M km2.

Yes. NSIDC monthly average is not really the average-of-extent, rather it is the extent of the average-of-sea-ice-concentration.

Movement of ice will blow up the value as a consequence of the 15% rule.

It is my impression that the ice pack does not move as much as in 2016, so the blow-up factor may be less. Depending on the last 9 days in September of course.

I agree. In late September 2016, there was a stiff eastern wind blowing over the CAA, which enhanced rapid ice grows over the Beaufort. If we don't get that wind this year my estimate will be an upper bound. Let's see what happens.

The 11-day extent for the first 11 days was 4.712, and the area already within the monthly extent at that date was 4.029. (Tealight's calculations in the prediction thread.)

The Slater SIPN projection was 4.77 and September is following the 50-day version pretty closely, so its hard to bet on much above that but only 0.16 above minimum for the September extent takes a really flat September. I think its looking 4.8-4.9ish but I'd prefer to see an update from Tealight before putting much confidence in how I think its tracking.

Weird or just synoptics?

That big Arctic depression, centred currently near the pole, was never going to be a friend to the ice. It is expected to fill slowly allowing a bit of a cool down on the Russian side.

But next week the ice will be under attack with warm air coming up the Atlantic and North America.

So going by the forecasts, the ice will be struggling still over next 10 days at least.  :(

Update for the week to September 23rd

The current 5 day trailing average is on 4,814,000km2 while the 1 day extent is at 4,839,000km2.

(All the following data is based on a trailing 5 day average)
The daily anomaly (compared to 81-10) is at -1,589,000km2, a decrease from -1,625,000km2 last week. The anomaly compared to the 07, 11 and 12 average is at +683,000km2, an increase from +638,000km2 last week. We're currently 8th lowest on record, down from 7th lowest last week.



The average daily change over the last 7 days was +22.2k/day, compared to the long term average of +17.6k/day, and the 07, 11 and 12 average of +16.3k/day.
The average long term change over the next week is +43.7k/day, with the 07, 11, and 12 average being +29.9k/day.



The extent change so far this September is the 20th least negative on record. To achieve the largest growth, an increase of at least 123.0k/day is required (more than 167.2k/day with single day values), while the largest loss requires a drop of at least 30.6k/day (drop of at least -47.7k/day with single day values) and an average change requires an increase of 40.8k/day (52.2k/day with single day values).



The 5 day average value of 4,635,000km2 from the 13th is likely to be the minimum for the year.
This is the 8th lowest on record.

Century extent drop, mostly within the Basin.

Century extent drop or century extent increase?
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.
