Arctic Ice Extent Recovering At Record Pace
By Paul Homewood http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/icethickness/thk.uk.php Arctic sea ice continues to grow back at a phenomenal rate. Since the start of the month, growth has comfortable exceeded anything on record since daily figures began in 1987. ftp://sidads.colorado.edu/DATASETS/NOAA/G02135/north/daily/data/ Ice has expanded by 0.896 million sq km, compared to the 1981-2010 average of 0.237 million sq km. According to NSIDC, ice extent now stands at the fourth highest for this day in the last 10 years. ftp://sidads.colorado.edu/DATASETS/NOAA/G02135/north/daily/data/ DMI actually show ice extent to be higher than NSIDC, roughly equal to 2013 and 2014, which raises questions in itself. http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/icecover.uk.php DMI now estimate that the average extent for the month will be greater than, or on a par with, most of the last ten years. Only 2013 and 2014 are much greater. It is clear that September ice extent has remained extremely stable since 2007, regardless of what happened before. http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/icecover_30y.uk.php
