2019 sea ice area and extent data
« Reply #463 on: Today at 10:46:28 AM »

JAXA ARCTIC EXTENT : 13,423,101 km2(March 30, 2019)

- Extent is lowest in the satellite record,
- Extent loss on this day 166k, 147 k GREATER than the average loss of 19 k on this day. Not quite a record breaker for March (March 23 2014 loss 169k).
- Extent loss from maximum 848k, 560 k (195%) greater than the average of 288k loss from maximum by this day,
- On average 2.9% of the melting season done, with 168 days to average date of minimum (13 September)

The Perils of Projections.
Average remaining melt would give a minimum of 3.83 million km2, 2nd lowest in the satellite record, 0.65 million above the 2017 low of 3.18 milliom km2. Incidentally, 2012 extent on this day was 1.128 million km2 GREATER THAN 2019. The current position does not necessarily reflect the final result).

Other Stuff
GFS indicates that overall the Arctic temperature anomaly will gradually drift down from a max of 7.8 today to around +4.8 over the next 10 days, with extreme anomalies initially in the Chuckchi & Beaufort and very soon after in the Kara & Laptev regions.
