Northern Hemisphere extent hasn't been falling at above average rates, but as I have posted recently the peripheral seas of the Arctic Ocean Basin are falling at well above average rates (apart from Beaufort).<br /><br />As the peripheral seas take up more of the overall extent loss, later this month and into August, I expect rate of loss in overall extent to increase.Chris Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843133350978717556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367053740188758246.post-24215930233053174122015-07-18T07:47:43.129-07:002015-07-18T07:47:43.129-07:00Completely agree with you.

What's the reasoning behind this, and will this rate of decline slow down (as I assume it will)?dreesennoreply@blogger.com
