Happy New Year 2024 (and sorry for the forum being offline some hours) /DM
It will be interesting to see whether or not we get something similar to last year over the next few months. I'm betting it won't be quite so far from the norm as last year, but what do I know?
Jeez you make nasty guesses!
Moving up again, but it's just a matter of for how long?
Quote from: Tigertown on September 28, 2017, 03:05:58 PMMoving up again, but it's just a matter of for how long?That said, it's still either the lowest, or the second lowest ever recorded for this date. Area is firmly in place at second lowest, but with a much larger gap between 2nd and 3d.October will tell an interesting tale.Terry

So I don't really think everything is ok. I just think maybe the ice didn't do what what some of us expected, and am beginning to wonder if it will entirely.
It looks like we have possibly reached a peak.

Apologies for mentioning area.

I've changed the thread title.
JAXA DATA9th November Extent 25,039,173 km2, just 109k km2 less than max on 28th October. But Global Area per NSIDC (merci Wipneus) keeps on going down stongly! Methinks that difference is in the Antarctic.But 2017 extent is currently nearly 1.6 million km2 GREATER THAN 2016, and it looks to me as if that difference is going to grow.
