Ice Gain Outlook??
Diminishing +ve SST anomalies.
GFS says Arctic temperature anomalies in the range +2.4 to +1.1 celsius over the next 5 days, - warmth in the Chukchi/Bering Strait, cold on the Atlantic Front. (After 5 days just maybe a blast of warmth from the Atlantic side into the central Arctic Ocean - but only maybe).
Winds highly variable in strength and direction.
