We read the Arctic Sea Ice Forum here on Pluto too, you know. Earth bigot!

P.S. Pluto is so a planet.

@Bill,

That chart of "lowest three" ice extents - does it measure the lowest three so far up to the year in question or does it consider future years too? ie if 2012 set a record for a given day which 2016 subsequently beat, would the day be ranked as a "lowest" or a "second lowest" for 2012?
The chart of lowest three extents is based on the  latest date. So for the next  5 days, 2007  which is third will become fourth and lose 5 days at third from its total.
Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore

Paddy,
As David correctly stated above, the stacked bar chart updates as each new data point for 2017 comes in. However, that's only the case for the chart on my computer; the one shown in yesterday's comment is merely a static GIF representation.

Since the data for Day 104 (April 14th) has been added, the number of "lowest" places for 2017 has risen from 55 to 56. However, this introduces a "shuffle effect", with 2016 losing a "lowest" but gaining a "2nd", 2004 losing a "2nd" but gaining a "3rd", and 2007 losing a "3rd".

My intention is to re-post an updated version of the stacked bar chart each time something significant happens. I suspect the next such instance will be when 2017 overtakes 2007 in terms of  total number of appearances in the lowest 3.

IJIS is really heading south now April 17, 2013:

13,174,375 km2

Now at 2000s average, but with this attitude go below that within days, easily.

This thread started with the Message above. But I can´t find a green line for 2013 at this point in the graph. And 2000s average? Can anyone explain this?

The problem if I understand correctly is that the 2013 line and the 2000s average are not at 13.174 but much higher  :o
Must have been some kind of revision from then to now?

Yes.  On 06 September 2013 there was a change in the data set -- see comment #406.  Unfortunately the descriptive link is broken.  I believe that the change had to do with the handling of the land masks, but Epsen or Wipneus would know much more than I do.

Everything after Sep 2013 seems comparable, stuff before has a different calibrationr

Shouldn't that be second lowest? In my spreadsheet 2016 was at 13,059,136 on April 17th.

I think when Espen writes "lowest measured for the date" he really means "lowest measured for this day of the year."  The difference is that in a leap year like 2016, March 1 is day number 61 while in a non-leap-year like 2017, March 1 is day number 60.

IJIS:

That minor drop on the 19th takes the 2017 extent to just below that clocked up by April 23rd 2007. Unless the extent actually rises during the next four days, the number of appearances in the "lowest 3 for the date" category for 2017 will rise from 107 to 111 by the 23rd. Simultaneously, the number of appearances in the "lowest 3" for 2007 will drop from 113 to 110.

By that stage, only 2012 and 2016 will have more appearances in the "lowest 3" - with 171 and 312 respectively.

2017 will continue to separate itself from the 2000's average IMHO, much like 2016.

As Oren stated, we had a hiatus/pause from April 21 to April 24. The "missing" values can be found on the .csv file

It is consistent with NSIDC which shows melting hiatus the past few days.

Last year the Beaufort sea gap kept opening steadily until well entered may 2016, which contributed in part to anomalously low extent. The north of Svalbard was clear-cut clean by mid may while this year is covered by MYI that will be clearing gradually. The timing is different this year too, would be surprised if the curve follows 2016.
To add that Greenland Sea and Barentz have seen import of much thicker ice this year... "good" for extent now, bad for the prospects of ice
Surprisingly even with higher extent Tealight's accumulated albedo potential anomaly is running highest, although very small numbers, still very early in the season

An update of my chart showing cumulative days in the bottom 3 for each date. Also a grid view showing the numbers.

2017 has now overtaken 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2015. Unless there are a couple of extended plateaux, I'd be surprised if 2017 spends much time outside the bottom 3 to the end of May.

Finally, an update of my 2017 vs 1990-16 daily range chart, now shifted to April & May.

Yes. The cumulative FDD graph is the most relevant for winter, and the one you posted is the most relevant over the melting season

In know we should take a 5 day average, which I haven't done, but the daily SIE reported by NSIDC his risen (or dropped depending on your point of view) to 4th lowest, being higher than 2016, 2015 and 2006.

really wondering where you get your stuff each time you post, please at least provide a link or an image because i've not been able to find a raise for a 5 days average or daily values, ready to stand corrected but need proof and then if the raise yo're talking about is a one day event and considering  the higher mobility of fractured and thinner ice, that extent is close to meaningless.

last but not least i wonder where that urge comes from to post things that sound opposite to the obvious direction of developement, even though that key values like volume (only relevant IMO) are down by a huge margin compared to 20th century numbers and as well down compared to last 15 years average and WAY down i have to point out.

i gladly admit that i could not resist to reply even though one probably should not, but that's how i am LOL

The NSIDC chart (with all years included - called "charctic", for I presume, "cutesy" reasons) indicates 2017 is 2nd lowest in the historical record.  (Is this 5-day average?  I'm sure it is: "NSIDC produces the daily extent values using a five-day trailing mean.") Enlargement of the recent data-filled part of the chart attached, and also yesterday's data info.  Per their request: credit “National Snow and Ice Data Center.” (pale blue line is 2017)[I realize this is OT. sorry]

... NSIDC charctic ...Is this 5-day average? ...

Yes Rot, Tot, Otr, Rto, Ort, Tro, Tor

What appears on the charctic is the rolling 5-day average of this daily data series...

ftp://sidads.colorado.edu/DATASETS/NOAA/G02135/north/daily/data/N_seaice_extent_daily_v2.1.csv

(No prizes for guessing what you get if you change the "north" to "south", and the "N_seaice" to "S_seaice" in that url.)

The above url is also the source for Feeltheburn's correct statement that the value on 28th April is the 4th lowest for that date. One can easily pull out the 3 lower instances by using the browser's "Find" functionality.

To quickly highlight just the 28th April dates, search for "04,  28", then start searching bottom upwards. (NOTE: the search string needs two spaces between the comma and the 2)

For those experiencing "cold turkey" whilst ADS is having a little rest...

After spending the 8 days (covering the 22nd to 29th April) languishing in the 13.4xx million sq kms range, the NSIDC single day value plummeted all the way to 13.395 on the 30th.  ;)

To make it clear: we  are 3rd lowest, behind 2016 and 2006.

Same as i, because not only of temp, also on thickness: http://data.seaiceportal.de/maps/smos/n/2017/thumbs_800/thick_n_20170430.png

It will be interesting to see if this anticipated melting is sufficient to keep 2017 in amongst the "lowest 3 for the day" values.

Here is a variant on Deeenngee's chart at #4178, with data up to, and including, the 1st May (i.e. Day 121).

Tips on interpretation;

Only years with around ~90 (or more) entries in the "lowest 3" are shown.

Generally, each year has 5 columns...
Col 1: status at end of 2015
Col 2: status at end of 2016
Col 3: maximum still possible by end of 2017
Col 4: positions already achieved thus far in 2017 (i.e. "locked")
Col 5: positions held last year between NOW and 31st Dec 2016 (i.e. "vulnerable")

Therefore difference between Col 1 & Col 2 equates to positions lost last year, and the difference between Col 2 & Col 3 equates to positions lost since 1st Jan 2017.
